i was watching a tv Program yesterday and one person did. just wondering if you asked the pilot or crew if you could visit the flight deck whether you could do it, or are all airlines so tight on security that they rarely allow it.

i live in europe so i don’t know if that makes any difference with security and access
It strongly depends on the airline that you are flying and what airport security measures are. I would suggest boarding the plane as soon as possible because that is when the door to the flight deck will be open. You will not be able to visit the flight deck during the flight! If the door is closed i would suggest asking a flight attendant. You may have to ask a few times before you are successful.
I would highly doubt it. Since 9/11 pretty much everything about the plane is off limits. It was probably just because they were a TV crew that they got the access.
Most definitely not in flight,rarely before take off..Possible after landing
aircraft docked..
In flight before flight are big no-no’s. Big hijack risks..After landing docking,not much risk,IE no fuel to go any where,people still getting off,all belly doors open,utility vehicles hooked up to aircraft..Going nowhere in a hurry..
Hope this helps you..
Due to new security measures, that will not be possible
The 9/11 event changed those policies.
Yes, you may visit the flight deck before or after a flight (while the aircraft is on the ground), with the captain’s permission. Just ask the cabin crew if you can visit. Many pilots are happy to allow a visit from someone interested in aviation, and as long as they aren’t too busy, they’ll let you come onto the flight deck.
Because of current regulations in place (at least in the U.S.), you can’t visit the flight deck while the aircraft is actually in flight, but there are no restrictions on visits on the ground. I don’t know what the regulations are in Europe (they can change from one country to another).
If you’re interested in aviation, it’s always fun to visit the flight deck.
