I got to go into the cockpit of a Canadair CRJ 100. The cockpit was very small. The controls looked like a giant computer game. There were two pilots. A man and a lady. The lady was the one who flew the plane. For our takeoff she flew the plane, then she put it on autopilot for the trip. When we landed she flew the plane again.
They showed us the different displays and how they can tell if the cabin has oxygen, what is the temperature inside the plane. We also saw the display showing the jet engines before the pilot starts the plane. Taking off was really fast and we could not see much of the ground for most of the trip because of clouds.
