What Happens if a Pilot has to use the Bathroom?
Of course, they can use the toilet! It wouldn’t be fair to the pilot or passengers if they were not allowed to do so. You might not realize that pilots also utilize the same restrooms as passengers. We’d expect them to have their own more luxurious toilet. The bathroom at the front of the aircraft is closest to the cockpit, and that’s where they use it.
A pilot is always in the front seat, ensuring that if one pilot has to go to the bathroom, the aircraft isn’t left unattended. In some rare situations, planes have toilets for the pilots on board, but they usually use the nearest available ones. And there we were, thinking they’d get special treatment and better accommodations.
