    For whom complaining about the interior designs and ... the wipers... here is some information you may be interested: This airplane is Airbus A319, which had been designed in 1984 and debuted in 1987. It has the first ever fly-by-wire system powered by 6 Motorola 6502 CPUs. It has 6 colored CRT screens to display all the flight information. Because of the fly-by-wire and sidestick design, the flight deck and seats are very comfortable. It even has a tray table so the crew can enjoy their meals. Also, the cockpit is large enough to carry crew's 20 luggages, and tons of documents, and all those emergency equipments. Pilots can even fullly stand up in the cockpit to stretch their back and legs... Even in today, this flight deck is still one of the most comfortable flight decks comparing to other similar aircraft. Most classic cars even Mercedes at that era couldnt reach the same comfort level. Also aircraft last very long due to their carefully design and strictly test. A new design can take years to get certificates for entering commercial operation. And the wipers, yes, they don't work as good as in cars, but they have their strength in their motors and connections. They are not synchronous and work independently if one doesn't work, another will not be affected.

      Correction
      Airbus a319 is first western-made aircraft to have fly-by-wire sustems. The first ever was soviet an124. The equivalent of fly-by-wiee in this aircraft was in use at least 10 years before similar system was claimed to be invented and developed by airbus 😊

With just shy of 50 hours many moons ago in C150s, and probably hundreds of hours on MSFS, what gets me about this approach is that it's a cool approach and landing. Unless something goes wrong...

    • @alreaud
      @alreaud Месяц назад +1

      With standard rotary wipers, yes, it is impossible. You could get the most of a whole widow if you moved a wiper oriented to a window edge in one direction, but an airplane window can't be rectangular, because of excess stress at the corners. That was found out, catastrophically, in one of the first commercial BOAC airliners. And wipers have to be able to withstand the airstream forces...

    This is an interesting vid for me, as I have made this approach in MSFS 2020 more than once, and each time I did....I followed the valley floor as I approached, with a parallel set of mountains on either side, the little turn to the left, and then the right hander on the way in, and the final left bank to land, But in this video, they come from over the mountain (on the right side of my approach), sink and bank hard right to line up with the valley floor, right before the end turns.
    As someone who has flown this approach, this is an insane way to land at this airport. There has to be a reason for it, but dang. Try landing at Paro in Flight Sim, and you will see what I mean. This video is heart stopping if you know more about this approach.

      MSFS is phenomenally accurate. Even back in the day, I used to use it to train before flight school days.
