Why and how did all the airplanes were grounded?

  Airplane "Long Term Parking "  The title expresses it's meaning itself that how and why Airliners need to go for long term parkings or hibernation. Situation around the world right now does not allow travel so much because travelling by air can cause an increase in Covid 19 by interaction of passengers and can spread it worldwide so it is very important to park temporarily grounded airplanes in a manner that its overall structure does not get damaged. For this particular task airlines assign teams to take care of aircraft while they are resting on ground by covering all its window to avoid exposure to sunlight and just like that other important parts like its engine, gears, and APU. Engines and gears need to be protected well to save them from interaction of birds and air combined small particles. Airlines need to make sure that a plane should be able to work properly to avoid any sort of mechanical failure during its long term parking so running engines and moving airc

What happens inside the cockpit/deck?

What is a Cockpit?  The cockpit is the section where all data about aircraft and flight is transmitted to pilots via screens. The aircraft can be manually managed thanks to the control mechanisms within this section. There are also communication panels. All information about the plane is sent to the control towers through this system. Cockpit is a prohibited place to enter for a non crew member to save aircraft getting hijacked and the door separating cockpit is built to be strong enough to not allow unwanted access. In this world of technology we can see very less manually operating aircraft as mostly screen cockpit are getting usual. One amazing feature about today's cockpit is the auto pilot which enables aircraft fly on their own and day by day Aviation manufacturing industry is taking steps forward to advance features furthermore. Hundreds of operate able buttons/switches are located in cockpit to control and gain required access on any particular instrument/system thus all th
