Exploring Airliner Cockpits 0: Trying a Long Series on Flying Airliners

I have recently read some books on airliner operations and gained a preliminary understanding of a pilot’s duties, so I plan to write this down bit by bit as a summary. Of course, it would be even better if this material could be of some help to enthusiasts who are passionate about flight simulation.

As a personal learning summary from an amateur hobbyist, I primarily used the following books as reference material to write this. However, the method is not a simple translation of these books, but rather more like a book review.

Most of the airport and aircraft photos in the articles were taken by me personally. In order to better observe aircraft details and facilities within the airport, I paid out of my own pocket to visit several airports, such as Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Hiroshima, Kobe, etc., and took thousands of photos. This was of great help in my understanding of aircraft operations.

If the text here involves copyright issues or relevant laws and regulations, please contact me. In addition, since there are many references to Japanese books, and the operational procedures of domestic airlines in China must be different from those in Japan, and I am not familiar with the domestic industry, please understand.
