EHM-1703 Philip:
Take a look at this if you fancy having a look around the pointy end of an A380.... Virtually of course!!!

EHM-1953 Daniel:
cool =)

EHM-1001 Robert:
What is that strange lever on the side window ???

EHM-1507 Manuel:
perhaps its to open the window....
And whats the graph in the Navigations Display??

EHM-1703 Philip:
The graph is a vertical terrain radar.... It shows the aircraft position vertically and any obstacles that it may encounter. The pilots use it when landing blind as so many incidents have occurred due to planes hitting mountains because the pilots situation awareness is limited by fog, cloud or darkness!!!

As for the handle..... hmmm.... I would hazard some sort of opening mechanism so the Pilot can throw his cigarette butts out without the pax knowing he is smoking! :)
