@nikitabier However, 3 out of 4 posts in my feed is now in Japanese. I do appreciate all the efforts to improve things but my timeline is now a foreign shitshow.
@Deaphen@flyethiopian I once flew with Ethiopian LTFM - HAAB - FAOR due to no other options. 10/10 experience. Would fly them again if they were an option @flyethiopian
🛫 Airbus A350 Cockpit – The Future Flight Deck in Action
The Airbus A350 cockpit is a next-generation flight deck designed with cutting-edge avionics, touchscreen technology, and pilot-friendly ergonomics. It's engineered to enhance situational awareness, reduce pilot workload, and ensure safer, more efficient operations on long-haul flights.
The A350 cockpit is a fully digital, glass cockpit featuring six large LCD screens, head-up displays (HUD), and intuitive touchscreen side panels. It supports dual sidestick control and full fly-by-wire functionality.
⚙️ How it works
* The six LCDs display navigation, engine parameters, and system status.
* Touchscreen displays allow pilots to interact with charts, system pages, and flight planning tools.
* Fly-by-wire systems translate pilot inputs into computer-managed flight commands for smoother control.
* Advanced ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring) aids in real-time system diagnostics and troubleshooting.
📌 Main Points
🧠 Smart flight interface with touchscreen technology #GlassCockpit
🕹️ Sidestick controls for smoother pilot input and visibility #FlyByWire
🔍 HUD projects vital flight info directly in pilot’s view #HUD
📊 Automated system monitoring via ECAM #FlightSafety
🔄 Designed for cockpit commonality across Airbus fleets #PilotTraining
🧠 Did You Know?
The A350 cockpit is so advanced that a pilot trained on the A330 can transition with minimal extra training due to Airbus’s “common type rating” system.
🚀 Interesting Fact
The A350 was one of the first wide-body commercial jets to receive certification for touchscreen use in the cockpit across all flight phases!
📣 If you had the chance, would you trust more automation in the cockpit or prefer traditional controls?

@OnDisasters If I may point out something. In the original video the plane appears to be in a blue livery. Look at the nose through the windshield.
The crashed plane is white.
🔴 Airbus has rolled out SWISS’s first Airbus A350-900, featuring the Wanderlust special livery. It has just emerged from the hangar in Toulouse. #Airbus#avgeek
