The long range 4 engine Airbus A340 might not remain in service for a long time with most of the airlines that operate the aircraft however pilots who fly it seem to love it. Here one Air Belgium Captain telling you why.

Air Belgium became the 284th airline to join our cockpit series! The new Belgian airline commenced operations in June 2018 with a fleet of 4 Airbus A340-300. We join the crew on board of OO-ABB which has a special livery celebrating the airline's new service to Guadeloupe and Martinique for a roundtrip flight from Charleroi Airport near Brussels to Fort De France and Point A Pitre.
The super experienced pilots will give you one of the best presentations you'll get on the Airbus A340 on this 5 hour cockpit film and you will get some amazing views specially approaching and departing the islands in the Caribbean.

@droge192 Год назад

What on Earth caused you to think that the A340 is somehow inherently dangerous? Most of the aircraft that the A340 competes with are 2 engined, versus the 4 engines (777, 787, 767). 4 Engines will always be statistically safer than 2 engines.

The size of the plane is not relevent to the use of a sidestick. The sidestick is used because it was found to be the best user interface on an aircraft with fly by wire control surface actuation.

Its a dream plane to fly, very comfortable and so smoothly flying. No plane in the world will ever match the A340. Congratulations to all the team who created such a wonderful plane. Airplanes must have 4 engines for safety reasons but airlines are so greedy, they will even operate with only half an engine, if they can, to economise further and leaving safety of passengers to their last worries.

I don't know about being compared to the latest Boeings but if you want a lighter workload, uncluttered cockpit, space, and a table then Airbus is the plane. From the beginning, the top engineer designed the planes to eliminate the "monkey business" of piloting the plane. Computers and fly by wire from day one. It took Boeing decades to modernize systems.

The Americans have been causing obstructions for Airbus since the company was first founded. The fact that a new twin jet, that required the max ETOPS limit from the outset, was accepted through certification, before a 4-engined non-ETOPS plane, despite the 777 project not even beginning until 2 years after the A340 project began. The FAA made up every possible obstruction (even the use of the sidestick, despite the A320 being certified almost 7 years before the A340; ie. the sidestick was not a new concept). All politics and government inteference in open competition. These days, Airbus sell 2.5 aircraft to every single Boeing that is sold.

@johnpatrick1588 4 года назад

Airbus has an A350 that is autonomous and self taxis, takeoff, and lands with all onboard systems controlling the plane. Two pilot crews may be ending down the road just like what happened to the radioman, navigator, flight engineer. An autonomous plane can be the pilot in command with a human as a backup copilot or vice versa.

@bullwinklejmoos 4 года назад

john patrick I should be done flying way before that ever happens. Why would you want to do something like that? Just because you can doesn’t mean you should? It’s like autonomous cars. Maybe it’s ok for the 90 y/o that can have some mobility in their life, but for most people NO!

@stefanocozzi8188 Год назад

The idea of a plane being flown on one pilot only is complete madness. Its funny how, there have been plenty of cases where crew cooperiation made the difference between life and death yet there are still discussions on whether there should be a single person at the controls. I believe people tend to forget past accidents, especially those who were deemed as pilot error. Every sane person knows that having one person at the controls is very risky, espeically in the case of an emergency. The workload would be immense. Only when fully automated aircraft shall be produced, then maybe it would be sensible to reduce the crew. This however will take decades to safely engineer. As of now, I believe it is too early.

@ffllcchh 4 года назад

on the newer 747-8 at MTOW it can reach 310 to 330 with ease, even at around 80% load it can climb initially to 350-360 so his analogy is just bragging off about the A340

@@ffllcchh Ya, thats what I am thinking too. If he had compared it to the 777, I could understand, butthe 340 and 47 are totally different birds.
