Once boarding is complete we fire up the APU and request pushback. Once we are airborne I will give you a tour of the flight deck. While we are boarding I load up my flight plan. While the alignment is going on the Passenger bus shows up and the fuel truck shows up. Once in the plane we flip the Battery switch and start the IRS alignment. No SIDS or STARS for this flight.Īs we show up to the plane the ground crew has boarding stairs ready and we go right in. Today we will be flying the A350-900 from KMCO(Orlando) to TNCM(Princess Juliana International Airport). I mean honestly who knew TNCM didn’t have ILS?!?!?! So lets get right into it! Oh one more thought, If you have never been to a destination before don’t visit it for the first time while flying a jet you have never flown before. But if you consider Airbus has only delivered 5 A350s then this is still a great simulation if the A350. For example the FMC is basic and failures aren’t as big of an issue. Basically the A350 doesn’t have ever system modeled at this point. However this is a Advanced model instead of the Pro model. This is made by the same team that made the 777. So this is the FlightFactor A350 XWB for X-plane 10. Now the Airbus, well I had to read the 250 pg manual 3 times and I still get confused, But more on that later. I love the 777, I feel at home on the flight deck. Boeing vs Airbus.Īs you may remember I did an AAR with the 777. Take for example the Americans muscle cars vs European Super cars, Metric vs Imperial, 220 vs 120. Like many things in the world there is the American way and then the European way.
