Minute details such as where pilots keep their phones, why both the pilots are served different meals, which buttons are used during emergency and the famous black box were all shown and the details of each was highlighted by him. He also spoke about the importance/ functions of various parts of an aeroplane and the placement of safety equipment like parachutes in an aircraft.
