A350 differences
quick question for anyone who has flown both the 900 and the 1000 types , are there any significant differences in handling between both variants ? |
Not in baggage handling at least.....! :p
|
There is 100 variations |
I've chatted to a few who have flown both and have said there are noticeable differences.
Frankly, I think they're just full of it. |
A bit longer and more wheels. |
More like a 777 then..... |
Only faster.......!
|
...and with a less useful payload. And a defective park brake. And an anti-ice system that ices up...in non icing conditions. And a radalt that causes potential problems during an ILS approach over water. And a crew rest area designed by autistic howler monkeys suffering from involuntary narcissistic rage. And a cabin interphone system that when used in a certain combination of calls either A. Turns on the cabin lights to full bright, or B. Opens the outflow valves...
Have I missed any others? Sh!t yeah, but I'm sure they're covered in the OEBs/TABs/OMFGs |
Yup, sounds like an Airbus!
|
Not in the-1000 as well. Worst J seats I have ever sat in. I thought they would learn from the -900.

Sh!t yeah, but I'm sure they're covered in the OEBs/TABs/OMFGs Uncommanded Turns When LNAV is in Use Control Panel (MCP) Altitude Window Changing Without Pilot Action Uncommanded Autothrottle Movement on the Ground VNAV Descent on Approach Without a Valid Descent Path Just minor stuff. Damn airbuses. |
Not sure about the payload comments, as the - 1000 carries ~ 4T MORE than the ER.
Not an Airbus salesman, but 5 mins on IntraCX, you can work that out for yourself;) |
But it's faster.

On or Off the Boeing are we, VNAV? LNAV? Autothrottle MOVEMENT? etc shows your technical knowledge. |

STP you are probably correct, I was just thinking about that offline and I was coming back to change the post, my apologies mrfox!:O

I absolutely loved the 777 but the A350 is better, it should be too as it’s a lot newer tech. It has its issues but what Jet doesn’t. They’re manageable. The bunk however is like sleeping on a rock. |

While I understand that nobody in this airline chooses what fleet they go on and certainly feel the need to up the banter between fleets, lets be real.
The only good thing about the airbus is the tray table, that's it. Boeing aircraft are made with the pilots in mind, everything is solid and is actually a pleasure to operate. While the airbus is a plane made by engineers, for engineers. The continued arrogance and disdain towards pilots by the plonkers in Toulouse is the reason for the continued deskilling of the industry. Just look at the 350, treats its "pilots" like kindergarteners. My agenda is definitely a selfish one (ie wanting to keep my job for as long as I can) but I'm not going to stand in the way of progress of technology. |
