	Cockpit Country Home Page
		Cockpit Country is a rugged, inaccessible area of inland Jamaica.
		This is the area where the karst terrain is so developed that humans have not found it viable to develop and where some semblance of the original flora and fauna remains.
		We do not have any large fauna: snakes and parrots are about as large as it gets but, while parrots (and birds in general) are active early and late in the day, you are very unlikely to come across a Jamaican Yellow Boa as it sleeps off its last meal in some secluded spot.

	Lufthansa A380 - Cockpit
		One click on a point in the cockpit display is all it takes for Ingo Tegtmeyer, a Lufthansa captain, to open up a menu that is virtually unparalleled in terms of its clarity and layout.
		With an area of 4.4 square metres, the A380 cockpit is far roomier than the flight deck of a conventional wide-bodied jet.
		One of the cameras can see from the tailfin over the fuselage roof and the wings of the super jumbo, while the other shows the pilot the exact position of the nose landing gear and the taxiway to be followed.

	Cockpit - LoveToKnow 1911
		COCKPIT, the term originally for an enclosed place in which the sport of cock-fighting was carried on.

	Cockpit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cockpit as a term for the pilot's compartment in an aircraft first appeared in 1914 and from about 1935 cockpit also came to be used informally to refer to the driver's seat of a car, especially a high performance one, and this is official terminology in Formula One.
		On an airliner, the cockpit is usually referred to as the "flight deck." This term derives from its use by the RAF for the separate, upper platform where the pilot and co-pilot sat in large flying boats.
		The Cockpit is also the nickname for Williams-Brice Stadium, the football stadium for the South Carolina Gamecocks.

	Glass cockpit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Where a traditional cockpit relies on numerous mechanical gauges to display information, a glass cockpit utilizes a few computer-controlled displays that can be adjusted to display flight information as needed.
		Early glass cockpits, found in the Boeing 737-400, 757 and 767, and in the Airbus A300-600 and A310, used EFIS to display attitude and navigational information only, with traditional mechanical gauges retained for airspeed, altitude and vertical speed.
		Later glass cockpits, found in the Boeing 747-400 and 777, and in the A320 and later Airbuses, have replaced completely the numerous mechanical gauges and warning lights present in previous generation aircraft.

		The 6-foot-2, 250-pound assailant was snatched from the cockpit, wrestled to the ground, bound hand and foot with plastic restraints and taken into custody by federal authorities upon landing in San Francisco.
		They require that the cockpit door remain locked at all times during flight, except, of course, while crew members are entering and exiting.
		But in one particularly appalling incident, a cockpit key gave a deranged passenger access to the flight deck and the consequences were fatal.

	Formation of Cockpit Country, Jamaica
		Cockpit Country was the name given to the area by the British in the 17th century because it reminded them of the then-popular cock-fighting arenas which were hot, humid and dangerous places where men gathered to watch and bet on the "sport".
		Although the Cockpit Country receives high rainfall annually (1500mm to 2500mm), it is still considered "waterless" because limestone acts as a sponge: surface water is drained vertically and rapidly and each cockpit bottom ("sink") is drained by a sinkhole.
		One of the puzzles for a layman is how the bottom of each cockpit is so flat: this is because, during times of heavy rain, water also comes UP the sinkholes and floods the sink or cockpit.

		She added that the average transport aircraft in the mid-1970s had more than 100 cockpit instruments and controls, and the primary flight instruments were already crowded with indicators, crossbars, and symbols.
		What was needed, she explained, were displays that could process the raw aircraft system and flight data into an integrated, easily understood picture of the aircraft situation, position and progress, not only in horizontal and vertical dimensions, but with regard to time and speed, as well.

	Airline cockpit cameras proposed
		The SilkAir crash is believed to have been caused by the deliberate act of the plane's troubled captain, who apparently disconnected the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder to mask his actions and then put the Boeing 737 into a steep dive from its cruising altitude of 35,000 feet.
		Investigators have found nothing in an analysis of the cockpit voice recorder and the jet's flight data recorder that would point toward a bomb or a mechanical problem as the cause of the crash.
		A cockpit video recorder on the jet would have shown "who was in the cockpit, who was in what seat, who left and when," Hall told the subcommittee.

	3D Cockpit Editing
		In the 2D cockpit, an 800x600 graphic screen with multiple layers is created and which you specify viewing angle, tilt angle and the exact buttons, switches, and various components that make up the cockpit view.
		The resolution of the cockpit graphics is a function of the detail at which the nodes of the 3D model have been mapped with texturres.
		Another aspect of editing 3d cockpits has to do with the other external parts of the airplane which are viewed from the cockpit.

	BBC - h2g2 - Cockpit
		Cockpit is the usual nomenclature when talking about small aeroplanes and military aircraft, especially combat aircraft.
		When simulating an aircraft is is vital to replicate the cockpit because any irregularity will be instantly obvious to the flight-crew long accustomed to flying the real thing.
		Filght simulator cockpits are often mounted on articulated platforms to simulate the motion of the aircraft, and equipped with a visual system to provide a view to the pilots of the simulated exterior environment in which they are flying.

	Flora of Cockpit Country, Jamaica
		In the Cockpit Country, as in other parts of Jamaica, and the tropics (Brown, 1999), high endemism of plants and other flightless organisms is often associated with geological discontinuities and sometimes forest edges.
		Preliminary analysis suggests that Cockpit Country endemic plants are not trees, but shrubs, epiphytes and vines, which are dependent on the presence of tree species for survival.
		The isolated hills on the periphery of the Cockpit Country appear to be richer in endemic species than those in the center, perhaps because they are acting as refugia for species from the surrounding areas of more accessible agricultural lands, which have been deforested.
