Tech Tuesday - Falcon 900 Cockpit Quick Look 

HAHA! No bother at all!

Hopefuly a better reputation than BIG sister ?? !! Ha,Ha,

The new Falcon’s are very modern eg FBW, side stick, all screen etc ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qi_IF0PVl70.html

I think I could figure it out...LOL

Corporate Pilot Life would you need any additional training in order to fly the Falcon?

50EX is really nice..

Yeah...I'm sorry for the double upload. I had an editing mistake that had to be corrected.

Ask and you shall receive...here is one I did on the G-IV, but they operate the same way: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cGvsaFYftkM.html

This one is a bit older, but I'm not sure the year. As for the slats, they are typically advantageous, but some manufacturers prefer to save the weight

Thank you for the first hand knowledge! I had no idea on the stow away seat...

@@CorporatePilotLife it's a dissaster, its uncomfortable, heavy to pull out of the floor and just to climb over it the whole time is frustrating. If you do have questions feel free to ask!

I thought the opposite. Clean, yes. Rested... ? No smile and "deer in headlights" eyes. Hope you got some good shuteye, Shaun!

@@KutWrite Just saw your post ! I hope he replies, Really interesting that we had completely opposite "takes " on that !!?? I'm glad you said, something bro.

I would have to ask, but I believe it can maintain a low altitude on one engine. Certainly not high altitude though

@@CorporatePilotLife - Thanks for the info, Shaun. Makes sense. I think the chances of losing 2 engines are probably pretty remote, thankfully.

A fowler flap is a trailing edge flap which not only tilts but also increases wing surface by sliding backwards. The slats are in this case slotted slats.

And to continue from Alexander, the leading edge device is called a slat. The Falcon has both inboard and outboard slats that move independently from each other depending on setting and flight conditions. And yes, pilots love the way falcons fly. Much like the Dassault fighters I'm told by the factory pilots. This is a very early model but the new Falcons put most airline aircraft to shame with the avionics and technology on board. Fast, nimble, and comfortable with steep approach and shortfield capability. Plus having the third engine allows more direct routing on trans oceanic flights. All twin engine aircraft have certain routes and waypoints they must fly but 3 and 4 engine aircraft can fly more or less direct if they want saving time and fuel compared to twins. They are really cool aircraft.

HAHA! Those are to scare birds out of the hangar. We kept getting pigeon poop on the planes, so they installed those to keep them out.

Corporate Pilot Life That really works? How well does it work? All it does is blink? And the birds stay out?

I think some pilots set things up there like headsets and clipboards. Over the years, they just get beat up a bit.

My Hawker type covers the 900XP and 800XP, and my Gulfstream type covers the G-IV. Any of the other aircraft I would have to get a new type rating for.

@@CorporatePilotLife way cool. Thanks for the reply. Each time I watch one of your vids I realize I got in the wrong line when making a career choice! Thanks for the adventure.

yep...just the middle one

and you can back up on the ground with it, mgtow by the way 45500 lbs

It should be out later today...

Probably blocking the tail number

The white papers are covering the tail number stickers so I don't have to blur them in editing...company requirement. The 3 engines don't really get you more speed, just more efficiency. I hope to fly the Falcon line someday, but no plans to just yet. If I do, then I will have to get a new type rating. Takes about 3 weeks in a simulator.

@@CorporatePilotLife Thank You Sir !!

Yes you can by means of differential braking but i would stop on the runway in such a situation.

@@alexanderkamerbeek9693 well if he is already airborne when the captain has a problem then the co-pilot has to land it without the tiller

@@dickmoore7341 yes exactly that is what will happen. With differential braking you can stop and manouver on the ground

@@alexanderkamerbeek9693 Thanks ;-)

The Gulfstream has some steering with the rudder pedals in addition to differential braking from the right seat, but the Hawker is only differential braking.

My guess is: "Pilot error." :P

Yep...just on the left side. Not really sure why, but almost all jets are that way

@@CorporatePilotLife Thanks 😎

The 900 has more versions, this is a B model but the C and EX models have glass cockpit. Then you have the LX and DX versions which have the new honeywell easy cockpit in it. The B is quite old 80's design.

Unfortunately, if it's just cosmetic stuff, it doesn't get high priority. We certainly address those things when we can, but it doesn't make sense to down the plane and sacrifice charter revenue to do that. Usually when the plane gets major maintenance, they will fix some of those minor items as well.
