Hi everybody

I'm flying on Airbus 330 and I have to say that the cockpit is very quiet.
And this is really important when you have long duties. It is also reasonably wide and confortable.

But like the A340 she is very unconfortable in turbulences. This is due to her wings. There is a ratio between the weight and the wing total area. The less weight per square meter, the higher the sensibility to turbulences.
In fact you cannot win in all domains. The A330 is one of the best airplane in regard of fuel consumption. She is also a formidable glider and her approach speed even at maximum landing weight is pretty low compared to Boeing's or Douglas's. All this thanks to her wing design.

Happy landings

Thx for the info bravo767

Are you flying for Birdy

Since you're familiar with the A330 you could maybe give us some info about this nose wheel thing

which was elaborated in this topic

Finally a good explanation about it. A lot of people already told me it was my imagination but I fly to much for not feeling this. One question, you fly A330 but you nick is Bravo767??? You just switched from "office" ???

It's a pitty we don't have any pictures
of OO-SFM's D-check. But lets not dispair.

Thank you Chris for posting all those links as a useful counterpart to all the 777s
we've seen in another part of the forum.
It shows that European aviation can successfully challenge US aviation.

Isn't it true that for the first time in 2003 Airbus will sell more planes than Boeing?

MD-11, your photos are great. It's nice to see a photo of so many Sabena aircraft together, and the short-lived VG/Delsey - I only ever saw one of their aircraft as I taxied past in a VLM Fokker 50 at BRU.
