The A346 is equipped with an active control on turbulence and vibration effects.
I mean, there are accelerometers that measure the amount of displacements in some areas (front cabin, engine pylons…) and collected data are directly sent to flight computers to generate automatic counter-actions through the moving surfaces.
Maybe this is why the behaviour seems quite unexpected to you.
Thanks a lot!
Here is the brand new “Red Qatar”, another special livery for Doha2006 Asian Games, in first flight today! Just a pure beauty against blue sky!




Part II







Warning, here is a heavy update!
Part I







What camera are you using mate
I’m using a Canon EOS300D (Rebel), most of the time associated to a 100-400mm lens.
I don’t understand your statement about the size of the font used here. Let’s face it, they have the world largest flying billboard. Don’t you think it’s better having large brand name so that everybody (especially people that know nothing about airlines except their reputation and visibility) can identify you, rather than having some kind of Malaysia-like ridiculously small sticker at the very front of the aircraft (refer to A380 Asian Tour)?
If you’re shocked by huge letters on SIA, what about this? :rolleyes:

Thanks a lot! Very happy that you appreciate the pics. 😮
Let’s go for an update!
Air France A320 at dawn and dusk, UPS A300 on delivery flight, Egyptair A330 performing single engine go-around maneuvers, and Vueling A320 on departure… 😎







Hi,
more shots here :

and here : 😀 😉


And this late afternoon, MSN007 (the fourth A380) performed RTO prior to first flight tomorrow or on monday…

Thanks for your warm comments, gents!
anyone know why the NZ (freedom air) and USA (northwest) flags are back to front?
Indeed, that’s a good question. Actually, as far as I can see on other a/c (Qatar, Qantas…) the flag is symmetrical on the right hand side. It is featured in the “correct” way on the left hand side. But I don’t know why.
If you have any of Toulouse under snowy condition with a few Airbuses featured, don’t hesitate!
Snowy conditions yesterday and today in Toulouse, you’re right, but low clouds and bad visibility, I didn’t want to fight against the snow and the other people struggling with their cars in the street. Moreover, the airport traffic was very disrupted…








Big update!




Hi,
here is something that will certainly please some of you!




Thank you for your warm comments!
I always try to take better and better shots, so I hope to bring you some good ones in 2006, and especially the first SIA A380 flying.
