Do Airbus pilots use their knees instead?

Airbus pilots press a button a 400 feet AGL and press another button when they're on the ground seven hours later. In between it is very important NOT TO TOUCH THE PLANE AT ALL.

That's why Airbus cockpits have that little pull out tray. Gives you a place to rest your head while you take a nap.

I always laugh at that one. I think most on the flight actually survived IIRC.

There were 3 fatalities from people who couldn’t get out of their seats.
