Yes there are two or three steps (don’t remember well) from the main deck…

How is the cockpit accessed? It looks to be just higher than the main deck and just below the upper deck i.e. somewhere in the middle :confused: Are there steps to it from the main deck or what?

It’ll have to be, by the sheer size of the beast

A380 has 3 jumpseats (A330/340, B777, B744, B757/767, A320, etc have 2). That pseudo laptop looks like a ground engineers tool for access ACMS parameters (aircraft condition monitoring system). Pilot access to ACMS is usually done through one of the MCDU’s so I guess that item would not be carried in flight.
The B744 cockpit is very narrow due to the fact that upstairs on a 747 is effectively a narrowbody. A330/340 and B777 have considerably more room laterally. I believe the A380 cockpit is positively huge in comparison to all.

The pics are taken with a wide angle.If you zoom in fully it becomes normal perpective.
Some more of the 380 below…….don’y like the premier class cabin though.Not sure why, just maybe not a cubicle fan.

The jump seat, wow they have room for 2? amazing
The size is in the picture is probably just an illusion ..I’d say it was probably about the same size as a 744 cockpit

I was assuming it was a work station of sorts, given the other 2 jump seats…? Is that console actually part of the flight crew’s equipment and just shoved out the way then ?
Image may be from the test flights which had additional test equipment installed. Mind you it does look rather built in (non generic laptop and rather bulky?)

I imagine the Q400 has one at the cockpit door?
You imagined correctly 😉 and it is terribly uncomfortable

Very nice, what’s the seat behind the F/O’s for, the one with the computer/laptop console ?
