easyJet: Inside the Cockpit

We meet the pilots who have to battle with delays, deal with sick passengers and negotiate landing at one of the world's most challenging airports in the heart of the Alps. Over a busy two days, Captain Emma Henderson will have to face technical breakdowns, severe turbulence and a medical emergency when a female passenger collapses in her arms. Meanwhile, Captain Brij Kotecha faces a high-pressure decision while flying to Innsbruck.

In episode two we meet the pilots who have to trouble-shoot a cockpit warning light mid-flight and witness rare meteorological displays at 35-thousand feet. We will also meet the cadets who will take to the skies for the first time with paying passengers. We follow new pilot Stuart Freeman on his first day in the job flying paying passengers.

In episode three we meet the pilots flying out of two of easyJet's regional bases: Manchester and Newcastle and we join Senior First Officer Iris De Kan on her mission to become a Captain.

First Officer Ajit and Captain Steve have four short domestic flights, but the tail-end of storm Freya means windier conditions than usual. The passengers are in for a bumpy ride and it takes every bit of Captain Steve's focus for the flight to remain on course and on time.

Captain Philip Ash is part of the friendly team that fly out of Manchester Airport, but today's cheerful banter will need to be put on hold as a medical emergency threatens to divert the plane from their destination of Palma.

Meanwhile, Senior First Officer Iris De Kan faces some gruelling challenges in the flight simulator in order to become a Captain and earn her fourth stripe.
