A350 Flight Crew Rest Compartment dimensions
Hi all,
I am curious about experiences of A350 pilots regarding their crew rest. Looking at the dimensions, it comes across as a very narrow entry of the crew rest, little space to change clothes or to enter the respective bunk. The crew rest seat looks very uncomfortable and with a length of 195cm the beds seem too short for effective rest. Any thoughts? Thanks! |
Haven't heard complaints about that from my taller colleagues. I don't have trouble fitting into the crew rest, though I'm shorter than 195 cm. The thing I dislike most is the light of the seat belt sign inside the bunk. The screen is illuminated even when the belt sign is off and it casts a somewhat bright light into the compartment.

Try an eye mask. A good quality one that provides total blackout is not expensive.

An appropriately located Post-it note will have the same effect.

$7 fix, and you can use it at home too. |
Guys at my outfit have 3D printed a cover for it. Fits snug. If I can get a hold of the file I will share it here.

In 8,000 pages of documentation and another 1,000 pages of separate documentation there is no reference to it either.

Haha, ok. Thanks for the feedback regarding the Seat belt sign light ;)

Industrial tape. Dark shade. Cut to measurements. Place over seatbelt sign. Sleep well
