Airbus A330-300 cockpit view - takeoff Frankfurt FRA runway 07C - 4K

[@Malamba4231]

In all my flights through Frankfurt, I never took off on any of the 7s. Always 25 and 18. Very interesting to see this departure.

[@lauch7230]

Immer wieder schön anzusehen!👍

A330, der Segelflieger in der Airbus Flotte. Kenne kaum ein anderes Flugzeug, das aerodynamisch so gut ist. Bei speed restrictions von ATC tut man sich echt schwer den Flieger zu bremsen, er wil einfach nur fliegen und dahin gleiten😉

[@PapaPadde]

So ist es! :-D

[@sebastianhyz]

I always wonder if the A333s at LH have any Center tanks? Some later weight variants with 242t MTOW seem to have those.

[@PapaPadde]

Our A330s do not have the center tank built in.

[@EWRFLYER]

Humble request for a KEWR takeoff/landing video if possible, please & thank you! 😍

[@PapaPadde]

That should be possible but will take some time as I do not get to fly there very often at the moment. But I promise to record next time I will be there! ;-)

[@EWRFLYER]

@@PapaPaddeOh ok can wait patiently no problem, thank you!

[@CharlieHagen]

Have you ever had to taxi back to the gate due to being under the minimum takeoff fuel amount?

[@PapaPadde]

So far, I did not have to do that, fortunately.😉

[@stingerbean1848]

So you are actually certified to fly A333, A343 and A346? That‘s amazing

[@PapaPadde]

Yes, that‘s correct - and I am very thankful for it. 🤩

[@Roboseal2]

well all 3 of those planes have very very similar cockpits and controls... Just different specifications.

[@viet_avgeek]

Question have you ever flown another aircraft other then the a340

[@PapaPadde]

Yes, I flew the A320 family, B747-200 and -400. And the A330, of course.😉

[@D98Flyer]

Cool, vielleicht bist du mal bei mir im Livestream. Dann können wir uns gegenseitig in die Kamera winken 🤗🤗✈️✈️

[@PapaPadde]

🤩

@@PapaPadde fliegst zufällig diesen FR, SA oder SO

[@PapaPadde]

Leider nicht, denn ich bin noch im Urlaub.😉

[@plushybonnie]

A340 now an A330?? cool thing: I flew on an A330 300 MCR

[@PapaPadde]

Nice! Yes, we are all rated on all variants - A330, A340-300 and -600. ;-)

[@Jannik_Stein]

@@PapaPaddeback in the days a330 and a340 were one typerating, right? When the changes that, did you need to redo one of them?

[@plushybonnie]

@@PapaPaddeoh okay, thanks man. you’re really good at this!

[@PapaPadde]

As far as I know, it has always been a common type rating. We were trained on one variant first - for me it was the A340 - and after several months flying, a conversion course to the other varaint was due. There you had to do several simulator missions and line training before being rated on both.

[@PapaPadde]

Thank you! :-)
