Hello, I've worked for an airline for about 18 months as a first officer in A320 series. It is my first jet and I am still experiencing discomfort from dryness. These days I am really struggling with dehydration in my nose. So I expect humidifier in cockpit could be helpful to relieve my problem. But I really worry that water vapor from it affects electrical parts of cockpit badly or causes electrical problems such as a short circuit. Indeed, I do never want to do ECAM action by this ever. Could you let me know your correct answer or way to contact Airbus engineer? It will be cordially appreciated.
 
Wait, so you want to bring along your own humidifier or you want to suggest to the Airbus engineers that they put some kind of humidifier in the cockpit? Either way, I agree with the response above. No.
 
Why not carry a water bottle and a washrag? That's probably a lot more compact and less likely to end badly.
 
Go to your local store and purchase a humidifier, a discreet pair of wire strippers, and a screw driver.

Get all through security. Then use the screw driver to open up the circuit breaker panel. Use the stripper to break away the plug end, and strip the wire. For the next part, you'll have to find a schematic, but I'm assuming you can find an empty circuit breaker, and wire up the humidifier.

You may want to hide it from the captain until your at cruise or something.

Good luck, and let us know how it all works out for you.

No seriously. Buy this and use it on your next flight. If the captain has a problem with it, tell the old man to shut up and take over controls of the aircraft.
 
Rub chapstick on your nose, or use a simple saline spray?

Drink as many bottles of free water that you can while you fly?

Wear a space helmet with a humidifying pack while you fly?

:yup:
Wow! Good thing you weren't in the military. The Q doesn't have those issues. Wanna switch? Lol
 
I canceled a purchase. Find another way or I would have to struggle continually for 5 years until promotion to A350 or B787. thanks.
 
This has the potential to go the way of plane-on-a-treadmill, retract flaps at touchdown, and PFT/PFJ discussions. And, to be used on this website as inside-joke slang, such as rumot and SouthernJets.

In all seriousness, I just carry a mist bottle and spray it every 3 to 5 minutes, but not near the center console or forward panel avionics.

One of those ones with the fan attached? If not, it works great because it blows the water away from the avionics.
