If I put a humidifier in the cockpit,,,,

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

No, just a normal one like for houseplants -- I use it on my ferns. I also put googly eyes on them.

What works well for me is to spray the mist down at the airflow coming out of the side gasper vent. I open it just before misting, and then close it for noise abatement.
 
Please don't go far. I am so serious. Combination of a wet rag and an air outlet have not been enough to cure my condition. I've heard that Airbus provides built-in-humidifier on the upper panel by an airlines request. Unfortunately, there is no this in ours. That's why I bought a very small humidifier could be conneted to the socket outlet behind of F/O's head. Anyway, my plan was canceled by your ridicule and I will try Nick's way as the last. Thank you, Nick.
 
Our freighters that we got from SG had cockpit humidifiers. They had been disconnected though due to corrosion issues in the overhead panel. The company provides us those Evian mist sprays to use as well.

The idea is not new or far fetched. The OP's english may not be great but it is a legitimate question. Personally I use the Evian and a wet towel that I breathe through from time to time. The sprays also help to keep the static down in the bunk. Some guys also use a face towel in a cup of water. Put most of the towel in the water and leave the rest hanging out like a wick. That amount of water isn't going to have any effect on the avionics of the aircraft. It evaporates in a few seconds.
 
For serious...

Or you could use a Neti-Pot

Why are there guys criticizing the OP? Don't like the idea that he got his 1st flying job in an A320? He's asking a legit question, relax.

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.

Or you could just plug it right into any one of the three outlets in most airbus cockpits.

Works good. Lasts long time.
 
hey Enthusiast78, do you work in India by any chance? Mazzei flying service, orders for A350/B787. Sounds like an Indian airline to me.
 
*shrug*. I thought his Engrish was well above standard for furriners. Is it possible for me to at once think that it was a legitimate question and still think he needs to stop being such a Nancy?

No I'm not an Indian, also I don't work in India. I am working for an airlines in Far east Asia. Right after earning CPL and building total 250hrs, 50hrs in Multi in Mazzei, CA. I was luckily successful to be hired by it in my nation. Actually, my company made a contract with airbus for bunch of A350, not with boeing. If I finish my career in here and nothing happen to me, I will not be able to fly B787. But everything could change.

Very common in that part of the world, no need to defend yourself my friend.

Which is why you will never find me flying on any airlines from around those parts.

I understand what you're saying but just to play devil's advocate, at one point a couple of years ago, you had people flying CRJs, ERJs, Saabs, Beech 1900s etc.. with 250 hours and less than 50 multi. I don't see how that's diff from an A320. Having flown Saabs, ERJs and CRJs and extensively jumpseatting on Airbuses, I think they have their work cut out for them.

Now I'm not making any assumptions as to how safe airlines are outside the US. I am quite familiar with the statistics, but I know one thing's for sure. You won't find any airlines outside the US with 23 year old captains with 2000 hours like we have here.

I think people are giving him a hard time because of what he plans to do. I would have to call scheduling and replace the FO I would be flying with if he showed up in our flight deck, pulled out a humidifier and plugged it in and set it on his side. Don't really want a fog machine in the flight deck.

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 you're at cruise or something.

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

That is all; this is a stupid thread.
 
Wait until you fly longhaul...it won't be such a stupid thread anymore. Half my time is spent trying not to shrivel up into a raisin at this point.
 
Some of you folks should be ashamed of yourselves. I'm actually embarrassed you would speak to anyone visiting JC, in this way. They are trying to solve a problem they are having and came here for advice. Whether of not you think it was a bad idea, you could have given them the courtesy of a little polite direction. If you know so much about engineering and aircraft, in fact, why don't you do that? rjmore and table two did and I don't see any of you banishing him to the depths of sillydumbdumbville.

That's what I was thinking too. Don't ask for permission, just show up for work with a giant humidifier from Costco and a Dr's note for the captains you fly with just in case they start asking questions.

Just don't use potbable water in it.....cause you may die.
