377 Stratocruiser Boeing Pilot´s Handbook

 

The A2A Wings of Silver Stratocruiser is unlike any aircraft you have flown in Microsoft Flight Simulator. From the very beginning we here on the A2A team knew that this aircraft was something special, not just in look and design, but in the way the team came together over what initially we believed was quite an odd yet large aircraft.
Many in the team initially had never heard of the Stratocruiser, and many of us also agreed at how odd the “double bubble” shape looked. As time went on, we began to realize the special place the Stratocruiser holds in history, and just how influential it is to today's modern airliners. Many features first realized in the Stratocruiser have become the standard for nearly all commercial aircraft built to date.
In a way, the Stratocruiser is a representation of A2A's dedication at creating the most realistic simulation possible of such an amazing and important aircraft. A2A has crafted and pioneered many new technologies for this aircraft which is the first release and flagship in the Wings of Silver flight simulation line of software simulations for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Never before has the team worked so diligently to produce what we feel is the most accurate simulator of a
true “classic” airliner.
Please take a look at some of the new features listed below and take the time to experience every one of them in the simulator. We feel confident that you, like us, will agree that the A2A Wings of Silver Stratocruiser is indeed an amazing aircraft.

A310 Systems & Miscellaneous

The A310 is available in two basic versions, the medium range −200 and the longer range −300. The first version of the aircraft to be developed was the −200 but this was later joined by the −300 which then became the standard production version of the aircraft.

A310-200
 

The first A310, the 162nd Airbus off the production line, made its maiden flight on 3 April 1982 powered by the earlier Pratt & Whitney JT9D-7R4D1 engines. The −200 entered service with Swissair and Lufthansa a year later. Also the late series −200 also featured wingfences just like the −300.

A310-200C

A convertible version, the seats can be removed and cargo placed on the main deck.

A310-200F

The freight version available as a new build or as a conversion of the existing wide-bodied aircraft. The A310-200F freighter has the capacity to carry 39t of freight over a distance up to 5,950 km.

A310-300

This section does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (October 2011)

First flown on 8 July 1985, the −300 is dimensionally identical to the −200 except for the provision of increased MTOW and an increase in range, provided by additional centre and horizontal stabilizer (trim-tank) fuel tanks. This model also introduced wingtip fences to improve aerodynamic efficiency, a feature that has since been retrofitted to some −200s. The aircraft entered service in 1986, again with Swissair. The aircraft is also provided with a computerised fuel distribution system which allows it to be trimmed in flight resulting in less drag and therefore reduced fuel burn.

No production freighters of the A310 were produced. Operators such as FedEx Express instead adapt ex-airline A310s into freighters, most have been the −300 version. They are now the world's largest operator of A310's with 53 aircraft.
 

A310-300C

A convertible passenger/cargo version, the seats can be removed and cargo placed on the main deck.
 

A310 MRT/MRTT
 

The A310 has been operated by many of the world's airforces as a pure transport (A310-300 MRT), however several have now been converted to the "Multi Role Tanker Transport" configuration by EADS, providing an aerial refueling capability. At least six have been ordered; four by the German Luftwaffe and two by the Canadian Forces. Deliveries began in 2004. Three were converted at EADS EFW in Dresden, Germany; the other three at Lufthansa Technik in Hamburg, Germany. The Chilean Air Force has purchased two second-hand A310s to replace its ageing 707–320 'Aguila' tanker and transports. The first was received in October 2007.

Un avión de Air France voló varios días sin 30 tornillos del alerón trasero

París, 25 nov (EFE).- Un avión Airbus A340 de la compañía francesa Air France voló durante días sin unos 30 tornillos de los paneles del alerón trasero, hasta que un mecánico descubrió su falta, según confirmó hoy a Efe la aerolínea.
El avión, que acababa de ser revisado en China, fue inmovilizado de inmediato en Boston (EEUU), aunque unas horas después retomó el vuelo tras solucionar el percance, según precisó una portavoz.
Air France aseguró que "en ningún momento peligró la seguridad" de los pasajeros, y atribuyó la responsabilidad del olvido a la empresa china Taeco, encargada de llevar a cabo la "gran visita", término con el que se conoce la revisión exhaustiva de los aviones cada 5 ó 6 años en función de sus horas de vuelo.
La compañía subrayó que por lo general revisa directamente en Francia sus 245 aparatos, pero que en este caso hizo una excepción por sobrecarga de trabajo y confió esa función a la subcontrata ubicada en la localidad china de Xiamen.
También indicó que se trata de la primera vez en cuatro años que ese proveedor chino comete un error de ese orden.
Los tornillos que faltaban correspondían a un tercio de los necesarios para fijar uno de los paneles aunque, según expertos del sector, no constituye un riesgo "importante".
Taeco es una de las empresas líderes del mundo en el mantenimiento de aeronaves y está participada a parte iguales por por Cathay Pacific Airways, Japan Airlines y Boeing, entre otros grupos de aviación. EFE

Cockpit Secrets

“Flying is much safer than you might think.”

A 2 hour documentary about challenging situations and emergencies performed in a special flight simulator with real pilots.

DETAILS AND CONTENTS:

See an amazing 737NG cockpit based on FS2004 in action!

Using a special, full-size Boeing 737NG cockpit and with the participation of real world pilots, Cockpit Secrets features simulated situations that you can never (or very rarely) see on real flights or in other cockpit videos. The documentary explains that there are precise procedures for virtually every emergency, and flying remains absolutely safe - even in case of failures or challenging weather conditions.

Thanks to the simple narration and over 30 animated illustrations, Cockpit Secrets can be enjoyed and understood by anyone, and there is no doubt that those interested in aviation and flight simulators will also find this documentary absolutely fascinating.

PA31T Piper Cheyenne I, IA, II and IIXL Aircraft Operation Manual

For many years the Cheyenne series of business aircraft was one of the most successful for Piper. It started in the mid sixties, when Piper decided to reconstruct its pressurized model „Navajo” to accommodate propeller turbines as propulsion. On August 29th 1969 the prototype took off for his maiden flight, but it took almost another five years until the first production aircraft went into service. The control surfaces and flight controls had to be reconstructed several times, because the higher speeds were a strain to the cell. Furthermore, a flooding of Pipers production facility in Lock Haven delayed deliveries.
