Specifically, I was flying on F-GZNQ, Air France’s first jet with the new first class cabin ( and a tip-to-tail makeover , for that matter). Talk about an amazing jet bridge to passenger ratio. Of course this was a special flight, but I find that to happen more on Air France than on any other airline.

Ultimately these are some of the sacrifices we’re seeing with the increasing use of premium narrow body jets, since the real estate math is a bit different than on wide body jets. On the other hand, herringbone seats are sort of outdated, and were cutting edge a couple of decades ago. There was nothing in the way of special amenities.

While the report draws no conclusions as to the cause of the crash, investigators set out a detailed timeline which focuses heavily on the Mitsubishi CRJ900s descent.

We will also examine the next most critical phase of our flight, from descent and deceleration to the approach and landing phases, even touching upon what happens when the aircraft arrives safely at the gate. Jet (and turboprop) turbine engines work more efficiently, and burn less fuel, at higher altitudes where the air is less dense.

I peek quickly at the empty belly , as I climb further up to the flight deck. First time taxiing a jet, another tick in the box today. I remember a moment on the 737: it was an extremely long 4-sector day with lots of delays, issues and returning from our last flight hours too late. Cleared for takeoff! Cleared to land!

The airlines use their high-fidelity flight simulators to great advantage, and when combined with stick shakers, multicrew flight decks, and low-speed and stall-warning systems, the training is excellent. However, the real focus of this maneuver is avoiding situations that might place the jet anywhere near stall speed.

As the flight drew closer to its destination, the first officer contacted the Voepass operational dispatcher at Guarulhos to coordinate their arrival. A cabin crew member contacted the flight deck, but the first officer asked her to wait while he finished dealing with dispatch. The flight crew confirmed SANPA.

What is a Turbine Airplane There is a misconception among the public that airplanes are divided between prop and jet. These are more pure jets and produce power from just the engine core. This is the common ‘jet’ engine in use today. Turbine engines have broad uses beyond the public perception.

The flight deck has to meet certification criteria such as field of vision, ergonomic aspects, and instrumentation. Cirrus Vision Jets are equipped with a unique safety feature called Safe Return Autoland, which allows passengers to land the plane with just the push of a button in the event of pilot incapacitation.
