You’re lucky that Detroit is a Delta base and already have their A350s. I fly out of SFO which is United territory and they won’t get their A350s till 2027. At least United is getting SOME A350s,,, unlike American who cancelled their order

[@mustafaezberbozan8150]

That's a great job Thanks a lot However at 32 20 shows ECAM CG to enter TO PERF THS BOX That is not correct, LS CG entry should be done Yes it looks weird , because at A 330, we used to rely on and enter ECAM CG rather than Load sheet CG But here A 350, the F/CTL PITCH TRIM/FMS/CG DISAGREE check logic is a little bit different than A 330 So we should enter LS CG

[@tomstravels520]

But the CG they used off the ECAM should be the same as the LS anyway shouldn’t it? You enter the initial figures in the FUEL and LOAD page for ZFW, ZFWCG and Block fuel and that will give you the CG of the aircraft which should match the loadsheet? The result they got off the ECAM is just what they entered in the FUEL page as the aircraft can’t calculate its own weight and CG until at least in the air

[@peteconrad2077]

That’s the airbus standard, but operators can vary an SOP for cross fleet standardisation or to comply with operational policy.

[@zszs100]

Honestly the UI in the A350 needs to be more organized. The buttons on the screen seems to be scattered in random locations, and some color coding would be nice too. The chip should be updated in the future cuz its a bit laggy when zooming in and out of the nav screen.

[@CyberSystemOverload]

I agree, the UI needs a huge overhaul. Everything needs to be big and bold and every screen should be a touch screen. The menus seem clunky and the hardware slow.

[@zszs100]

@@CyberSystemOverload yeah agree. Hope they do a software/hardware upgrade in the future.

[@tomstravels520]

@@CyberSystemOverload Why should they be touchscreen? You're just asking for dirty fingerprints all over it. And then how do you manage during turbulence?

@@tomstravels520 Those issues have long since been addressed. Look at Symmetry flight deck that Gulfstream is using. 10 touchscreens :-) Even the overhead is all touchscreen: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp-vlmeIopyEsLs

[@tomstravels520]

@@CyberSystemOverload that video doesn’t explain how they’ve been addressed. I’d like to know what happens if the screen freezes or power is lost to that screen of controls or if a severe electrical failure occurs. Then how do you activate those systems controlled by touchscreen. Also private jets are massively different from commercial passenger jets. The UI of the A350 is probably the best around. PFD is for flying the plane, ND is for navigating, central displays are for managing aircraft systems, lower central displays are managing the flight and the OIS is for extra assistance for displaying maps and showing aircraft maintenance data etc. The newer A350 do actually have touchscreen lower displays and OIS but they’re for pilot preference who can still use the mouse and keyboard or trackball if they want. If you’re not a commercial pilot you can’t really say “oh it looks bad and needs sorting out” because you don’t use it anyway. Also this plane was designed in late 2000’s and likely using chips from that era as they can’t keep adding new ones all the time as they have to be throughly tested. The chip powering the EFB on the 787 is supposedly from late 90’s

Hi Ron. It depends on the runway noise abatement instructions. 7058' is 1500' agl in Johannesburg. The Airbus engines are so quiet that we normally use 1500' agl for THR RED and for ACCEL.

In a zero visibility situation, would you rather fly by this dash or by a 40inch microsoft flightsim display? try to realize that MSFS is synthetic vision avionics. Which is clearer, which is more enabling. And which is absolute garbage. As for redundancy, one big display per pilot and a little 3rd unit stowed away out of sight but realistically if you have lost both units you have probably lost the electronics that control the plane anyway.
