Cockpit doors and equipment

Since 11th September 2001, cockpit doors have been shielded and locked from the inside. A digital code system outside the cockpit enables the pilots to be informed that someone wants to enter the cabin. These codes are confidential and only the pilot and co-pilot and perhaps the senior cabin crew member may know them.
