First Time in the Left Seat: What is a SFO/CRP? | A330 VLOG

Join me on my first journey as a Cruise Relief Pilot (CRP/SFO), where I take you inside the cockpit of the Airbus A330 for a full flight from Frankfurt (EDDF) to Windhoek (FYWH) and back! 🌍✈️ In this video, I walk you through what it's like transitioning from First Officer to Senior First Officer or CRP, explaining how we handle weather, turbulence, and the critical decision-making process when the captain is off duty. As always sit back and enjoy!
