On the A319/A320, 777, and 747, Channel 9 is always "From the Flight Deck". On the 757/767, from my experience, Channel 9 isn't available. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Too bad, because I love listening to Channel 9.

Actually when I flew UNITED last year between SEA and DEN it was on a 757 and they had Channel 9.

ANA does that as well. It's pretty cool. Watching the takeoff from the perspective of the pilots and the approach and landing is cool.

Turning it on when you're in cruise, though, is boring as hell.

No doubt! A transcon's a lot like this in good weather:

"Delta 132 contact Kansas City Center on 123.9"

"123.9, Delta 132"

"KC Center, Delta 132 flight level 310"

"Delta 132 roger"

(20 minute pause)
