Flight deck windows can be opened.

Flight deck windows can be opened.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Allowed
• D. Not Specified

Answer: (B)

Opening a flight deck window isn’t part of normal operation. The cockpit windows are sealed to maintain the aircraft’s pressurized environment and withstand aerodynamic loads. Opening them in flight would break that seal, risking rapid decompression, wind blast, and loss of crew control. Ventilation and environmental control are handled by the aircraft’s systems, not by opening a window. Some windows may be opened on the ground for ventilation or emergency escape procedures, but not during flight. That’s why the statement is false.
