Hi All,
as our screenshot page doesn't yet give the option to file pictures of our newest bird, I thought I put some pictures of my first flights with the big one.
Approaching LGAV, our Athens Hub Airport.

Great shots guys :)

Very nice shots! Rico, what happened between on final and on blocks?? ;)
-
Nice shots, both of you :P
-
To All: Feel free to add pictures from your fligths with our big bird :]

Well, my first landing, was a crash lol
I didn't line up properly with the runway and had to turn too hard, and at the same didn't realise how low the wings are, so the wings went into the ground:$
Next time lucky though!

Will try again ;)

Very nice Ricardo.
Did you find it easy to land as well? I thought it was the easiet plane to land in our fleet.
Also, let's see if anyone will post pictures of the A380 parked with some doors open...
Kepp up the good work ;D
-
Yes, it is very easy to fly and to land. This bird is really good.
Here you have A380 parked with doors opened:

Look at the size of this beauty. She is really huge !!!
I am waiting to get my hands on this plane soon. Thou I can still unofficially fly this plane, officially I cannot log since I am still not eligble to fly as per rules !!!
Will have to wait with patience and keep working on other flights before I lay my hands on this one....
-
I think it is better to get a bit experience on Class 5 and 6 planes before trying out a so heavy aircraft ;)
-
Here are some pictures taken: the following are during my second practice flight in Tolousse during the approach. Later will show some during cruise and landing at Lisbon.

I agree with you Robert, the heavier the aircraft, the more careful you got to be during approach to land. I have always noticed that with jet engines, the plane takes a while to spool up power, this lag could be enough time to pick the clothes from the buildings clothe-lines, or trim some trees along the way .....
:P
-
whoa Hector, what are those gadgets and gismos you've added to your A380 panel? ;D
-
Same question from my side too!!!
How on earth have you set up your cockpit like this. :o
Really jealous :];D:]:P

All gauges, except Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 9 are from Glenn Copeland. You can download them from AVSIM. Just go to Search and type his name. This gentleman has developed a lot of extremely helpful gauges that serve as copilots. Easy to install and understand. I wrote about it in this forum some time ago.
No. 1 is the Altitude Alerter. I use it to remind me for turning lights off and on when passing 10000 and also to set the Transition Altitude to get the local QNH.
BTW, last week I asked Glenn whether he could develop something like this but for speed. This will help us to keep the 250kts speed below 10000. He promised that he will look at it after Holidays.
No. 5 is the Descentometer. It helps to start the descent to reach a pre-determined altitud.
No. 6 is the SALS (Satellite Added Landing System). It will help in landing in those runways without an ILS.
No. 7 is the ARM system that deploys the spoilers and set the reversers after the nose touches the runway during landing. There are two variations: ARM_1 for twin engines and ARM_4 for three and four engines.
No. 8 is the 4th Hand. It raises and lowers the gear at pre-selected time after takeoff and a pre-selected altitude for landing.
No. 4 is the icon ServInfo uses to select the Traffic Controllers.
Nos. 2, 3 and 9 are CIVA gauges for the Inertial Navigation System that every aircraft must have for transoceanic flights. A little bit complicated but very useful. This instrument is not new but was widely used by the first transoceanic flights. Every thing needed can be found in AVSIM.
I am glad you like them and hope it will help. Imagine a Copilot that does not make any salary and does not complain.;D
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for the EHM family.
Regards,
Hector

Oooops! I mixed up a couple of gauges: No. 5 is the SALS and No. 6 is the Descentometer. Sorry about that.
