Apologies if this is the wrong forum to ask this question... There was a topic recently on airports with 747 flights that were not equipped with Jetways. This brought back some childhood memories of when I used to fly AF442/443 flights from CDG to GIG via GRU on AF A340-300's. I distinctly remember ...
Jump to postAs for the dimmable windows, I think they're great. I'm not sure why y'all love shades so much, since they usually go down at the beginning of the flight and stay down. At least you have the option of looking at dimmed things on the 787. Absolutely agree with that, I think they're great and even in...
Jump to postIt'll be interesting to see what transpired as the pilots seem to be saying there was no way to see it coming, and another report says the window was showing no sign of wear and tear. The consequences of the analysis may have quite wide ranging impact since this is obviously a very common aircraft.

Very similar in design to most modern Boeing FMS's, and has a slightly different shape for the buttons. But system wise, looks extremely similar.

I seem to remember they used modified versions (improvements of) the black hawk, which vaguely looks like this.
