To continue with testing complex and complicated systems, I have found a list of documents that I had to read for the Boeing 777 as a starter. Those documents are systems descriptions and test requirements. They are "just" for the aircraft and do not consider the airline pilot training that took several months and other systems that are present into a full flight simulator. We end up with 14 820 pages of initial documentation. How looks like a flight simulator in 70 seconds: https://lnkd.in/dZzcci77

WHICH AIRCRAFT? Flight Engineer Panel with CRT Engine Display; Captain Erik Neborski launched a very challenging quiz, this is just one part of it. Do you know which aircraft this panel is from? Please place your answer in Comments, below...

Helicopter pilots must master various cockpits for split-second decisions, making Frasca’s flight simulators essential for confident and proficient training. https://bit.ly/47yvUJH

💡Aviation word of the day - RUN-UP: • The process of increasing the power of an aircraft engine before takeoff • Run-up helps pilots check if the powerplant and propeller are operating properly

Designed around a single pilot, the single-engine Vision Jet is ideal for piston aviators in transition.

Airbus A300B4-220 with new Forward Facing Crew Cockpit technology also known as FFCC which was introduce by the end of 1970's... although the instrument are still mostly analogue, the FFCC technology allowed the aircraft to be flown only by two person cockpit crew, while Airbus A300 is a wide-body aircraft and at that time it's still uncommon for wide-body aircraft to be flown only two person cockpit crew and most of the cockpit of wide-body aircraft at that time are still flown by three person cockpit crew, pilot, co-pilot and flight-engineer... making Airbus A300B4-220 FFCC as the world first wide-body aircraft

When I think of the words 'journalism' and 'reporting,' I think of The Air Current. Editor-in-chief Jon Ostrower founded the aerospace reporting and analysis service to provide depth and exclusivity of global strategic trends and their broader implications for global aviation. The Air Current's journalists embody this ethos - in providing long-form content through quality reporting, on topics they are deeply interested in. As a writer and industry professional, TAC's writing and passion inspires me. This quality and investment in their reporting translates to readers in providing intelligence, and unique insights into important industry matters. Be that F-35 pilot training, Boeing's quality & cultural woes, eVTOL developments, and air travel trends. And, perhaps the best and most generous aspect, is that all safety-related articles are provided free of charge. #aviation #aerospace #aviationsafety #pilottraining

This is a remarkable article that’s well worth reading if you want to geek out on one of the most interesting areas of aviation. And to boot, there’s some in-depth info on how the Joby Aviation flight controls are derived from the F-35B. If you ever played Microsoft Flight Simulator, this one’s for you 🕹️ ✈️ ⚡️
