I was the Engineering Liaison pilot on the C Series at Bombardier. Involved from the very beginning in the design of the flightdeck and the airplane. As a flight instructor , training had a key role in the design of this aircraft, making it the easiest to learn and fly. There is so much of my sole in this baby. It makes me proud to hear pilots praise the design.
Wow amazing! Let me know if you or Bombardier wants me to do a more in depth review would love to! Message me on IG!
@@MaxAfterburnerusa I would love to describe what we went through in the design of the C Series. I retired from Bombardier in 2014 and am still working in aviation. Bombardier refocused their aviation sector into the business jet only market with several cutting edge designs that are really fantastic airplanes. I do not have IG.
Thanks for making a modern aircraft a Pilot's aircraft. Keen to hear more, we are moving into them next year so be great to get some tips and tricks.
I have had the privilege of working with this aircraft a ton. Both as a Gate Agent and as a Ramper. Boarding is pretty awesome as its quick like a regional or Mad Dog/717 but easily manageable when by yourself. It also has a 3/2 seating configuration. So when trying to seat families and groups or move passengers around. I found it to be a bit better to accommodate. It also helps that the middle seat is slightly large in width then the other seats giving something for the person sitting there. The seat back screens are amazing and the overhead bins are extended and then some as to almost accommodate every carryon bag.
Working on it from the ramp does have some issues though. While the bin does have space. You really have to know how to stack bags or be a Tetris wizard to maximize it use without violating the two inch gap. Weight and balance is often a thing ALA's have to deal with this plane, as well as doing so as a Gate Agent too. Where they have to often work with Load Planning to move passengers around. Another thing you have to be super cognizant of is when pulling up a belt loader or the jet bridge not to touch the aircraft at all. Its composite material and its not like the other all metal planes that people had been use to for years pulling up to and resting upon.
Talking about how quiet the plane is also crazy when you are working around the ramp as its so quiet taxing that it can kinda sneak up on you. (Gate Agents often never hear it taxi into the gate too.) Save for when you hear the "whale". Honestly the only thing I do not like is hooking up and taking off ground air from the jet bridge/aircraft. It is a bit of a pain, but in the winter when its cold as hell out. It's got a nice heat exhaust mid fuselage that will warm you up super quick when waiting to push/wing walk out.
It's a fun plane that will only get better as it gets more and more use.
What an interesting perspective you can offer on the C-Series/A220. But please stop complimenting Airbus on the design choices made by Bombardier. Airbus was 100% not involved.
A220 = Modern commercial aviation perfected. I have never, not once, heard of anyone say anything critical about the A220 (expect for maybe jealous Boeing fan boys). Need more of these beauties in sky!
They are awesome!
When I was able to talk to mechanics at delta in Salt Lake they say they hate working on it as it's almost all electrical and a pain in the ass
I was on the original flight controls integration design team at Bombardier. It was fun seeing the aircraft from a pilot’s perspective. Nice to hear praise for an aircraft I spent years on. It’ll always be the C Series to me. Thanks for the interesting guided tour.
You are right, it's still a C Series to my boyfriend who was a technician at Bombardier for 24 years.
Still a C Series to me flying it for the launch operator:) enjoying every day in the office!
A320 Captain here… I’m so jealous now about the toilet window! I think I’m gonna file an official complaint about that.
Jokes apart, nice video, thank you.
The A220 has allot of legroom for big people like me in the back that`s why i like flying on it.
Absolutely, it was made with purpose
That was a fantastic video Dude. The story behind why Airbus sells that plane instead of Bombardier aircraft as the C class is very interesting. Maybe someday you could touch on that. Thanks again for the great content.
I normally don’t pay much attention to airliners (unless I’m wincing at Big Jet TV) but this walkround and cockpit tour was great , a real fascinating insight . Keep up the great work 👍🏻😎
Hey thanks!
Your videos are awesome. I'm in training for the A220 right now for my airline.
hello there jet jockey, Used to be one myself, was also a commercial helicopter pilot plus 25 years as an air traffic controler in Montreal
An elegant looking solution for fluidity between point to point and hub and spoke. Hope to see more of these. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
You bet!
Bravo for being top of the line 👍👍👍
Flew on the a220 twice in the last week. Breeze Airways, RIC to TPA and back. Love the plane! Thanks for explaining the moaning whale sound. Awesome video. Thanks again!
You should check out Captain Steven Markovich channel. He spots at TPA, he might have recorded the flights you were on. I see Breeze A220s taking off and landing in his vids.
I have not seen such detailed tour of an airliner till date, normally people focus on the overall ambience, luxury & superficial stuff which most people are aware of. I really enjoyed watching such detailed insights on every part of the cockpit even the USP of the airliner the Gala Restroom😉🤣. Seriously loved this video , Wish I could fly an aircarft. Lots of love ❤
You rock! Thank you so much for your Top Gun level comments!
@@MaxAfterburnerusa Pleasure 😊
Airbus is literally the rolls Royce of commercial aviation they build for comfort useability and ease of operation and are fluid to customer demand / great company A330 will always be my favourite airliner
Thank's for showing what a great plane the C Series is.... My boyfriend did appreciate this video as an retired technician of Bombardier Aeronautics
Ryan, the A220 is my new favorite aircraft. Next to the Dash 8-400 and Boeing 757. I have flown the aircraft three times with the longest leg from AUS-SEA. It is a fantastic aircraft and I love it as a passenger.
Flew from LGA to DFW in A220-100 and can't stop raving about it! It was extremely comfortable and quieter plane vs anything I flew on both large and small planes. Such an agile and perfect flying machine in the sky and the timing is perfect for it in the post pandemic air travelling which has changed a lot in favor of smaller airplanes! In Delta configurated seats, it felt roomier, with better legroom to stretch all the way. It is my most favorite among all single isle narrow-bodied jets until something better comes up in it's class. Love Airbus over Boeing in each aircraft class on comfort and practicality.
You should do a video on the F/A-18 HARV, the F-15 STOL/MTD or F-16/x-62 VISTA
Sweet rides. Great review. Very well done.
Thank you for this amazing video !!!
You’re welcome! Glad you’re here!
Such a sick plane💯😍👍😉
The tight tolerances on the fan to duct is impressive! And hyper-critical airfoil and sleek aileron linkage fairing is "Gucci". Wait, did you say the sidestick is more responsive than F-16?! Unbelievable, better than a hot rod fighter?!
There are no design compromises when Bombardier designed the A220/CSeries. The flight computers are quite fast and intended to mimic direct links from pilot controls to the flight control surfaces. The A220 combines the best of Boeing and Airbus flight control hardware and software flight control laws. It flies like a 787 with a sidestick, particularly on the pitch axis. While it cannot match the roll rate or turn radius of an F-16, the A220 can carve very tight circles around the airport. With those huge engines (same size as the RB211s on 757) and big supercritical wings, the A220 is truly a hot-rod airliner with numerous special flight capabilities, most notably capable of catapulting itself from short runways from smaller airports, being a very fast climber and lifting the same payload in weight as the A320neo.
I did the preliminary design work on the Aileron Fairings. Very challenging but also nice to hear the appreciation.
I've had the chance to talk to mechanics at Delta on what they think about the A220, they told me they hate it as it's mostly all electronic and its a pain in the ass to work on
We’re you ever given the opportunity to be a test pilot? Or how does one go about becoming a test pilot? I’ve always been interested to know how that happens
Fun fact my school has a A220, the experimental version.
Love this!
Looks like an awesome jet I want to take a ride on one of Delta very soon!
Absolutely! They’re a great ride!
I live near a airport only turboprops like the ATR 42 are operational here. It is a table top runway of 0.55 NM would this be able to operate here?
That’s pretty awesome… always wondered what air liners are doing these days
For sure! 💪
Should check out the Wings Over The Web virtual air show the FS Thunderbirds put on in MSFS 2020. It's here on RUclips.
"Well done Bombardier" more than Airbus :)
Q: How does flying different jets compare to driving different cars?
As a F-15 pilot would you be able to just jump in a Panavia Tornado and manage to take off?
I could most likely get it off the ground. The hardest part is knowing the start up sequence and interpreting the avionics
the shape reminds me of an a310 in away.
I am a A220 captain and of the 12 unit we have only 3 are operating, the PW engine have a lot of problems, every 2 to 3 month the engine need to be overhauled .the aircraft is very fuel efficient but the grounding makes it very inefficient for any company to operate
I've also heard from mechanics that they're hell to work on due to being mostly being all electronic
EgyptAir? Perhaps you could elaborate why they can only run 25% of their fleet at a time when no other airline has that problem.
I need to look for an A220 flight ✈️!
Is there another commercial type plane you would like 👍 to fly? If so, why?
Sir I have a question for you. Which aircraft platform has the greatest climb rate? The F-15 C, F-15E or the F-22?
At 62,000fpm to 50,000fpm the F-22 is said to be a faster climber. The reality is that unless you are a guy like Ryan you don’t know the real statistics. The DOD is not in the habit of revealing it’s capabilities. Remember you can’t shoot what you can’t see you can’t hit what you can’t catch. No matter the specifics it’s safe to say the F-22 is a faster climber. The thrust to weight ratio of the F-22 is better than the F-15, yet the F-22 is not as fast on a wings level full blower run with no ordnance or bags of fuel. This is because of the two different philosophies of design we see in these aircraft. Now days stealth and electronic counter measures are relied on more than being high and fast. Although there is nothing wrong with either of those 😎.
@@wadeboothe4397 thanks. I was just curious because the F15 Strike Eagle’s record and how the USAF made a huge deal about its rate of climb.
@@retiredafce3373 yessir the F-15 was King Shit on Turd Island for decades. It has a higher top speed but almost half the range and the inability to cruise in super sonic. Which you probably already know all of that if you are a Rotorhead.
@@wadeboothe4397 I’m a Civil Engineer grunt. Meaning I was RED HORSE and CE who has multiple deployments with the Army lol
@@retiredafce3373 yep, I was Army.
Have you ever flown a Gulfstream? My father retired from there after over 30 years of employment. From what he’s said it is quite a privilege. Any thoughts on that?
Does that slower fan speed reduce the stress on the blades? I would think so, which can only be a good thing!!! (P&W)!!!!!!
But you add a gearbox, complex and something to take care of
Hello, great video overall, however giving the credit to Airbus is not quite accurate, because the thing was designed and already flying before Airbus came to the picture.
I would say it’s a mixture of Boeing and Bombardier
Why didn't you show us the lavatory with the window?!
Wonder what the 797 cockpit will be like
Do you personally expect an A220-500 version any time soon?
It's a cool airplane for sure but I can't help but wonder if this level of automation is slowly taking the pilotage out of being a pilot.
never saw a pic of the whole dam plane
Great video! However you forgot the most important!!!
It's not an Airbus, they only bought 51% of the project from Bombardier who actually created the airliner. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they did because the saved the plane! Thanks to Airbus this bad boy will dominate its segment...
Good point! It's a nice little ride...
There was some rumours of the engine not performing all that well in hot weather and high altitude airports.
💖
The Airbus A220 is a 21st Century Plane. The Boeing 737 is a 1960s 20th Century junk.
Go Mobile, Alabama! Who says that Southerner's can't built Commercial Aircraft?
Airbus is superior in every thing
Ryan is Handsome
You think its a good time to buy Boeing stock yet? The big blue B is suffering some hellish PR with all the axle dents taking place because of that darned ole trim wheel not being obtrusive enough and painted chartreuse with flashing LED's.
Bro. I just wish Boeing would go with a side stick!
@@MaxAfterburnerusa I’ve heard a couple of guys say that about airliners. Having a lap full of yoke sucks as a mechanic, I can’t imagine it’s any better as an aviator. Especially for that long monotonous periods between take off and landing.
No tray table review. 😢😢😢
What happens if you accidentally press the toga button in cruise flight?
Boeing made a mistake in not purchasing Embraer
Why does the A220 not have covered landing gear when retracked?
Neither does 737. It’s a cost benefit equation.
From where came the word Cockpit? Is that's the place where the cock pits?
The problem with the electric brakes is that they heat up very fast if you treat them like hydraulic brakes.
Really? I've flown it for a year now and never had any issue with brake temp, and it doesn't have brake fans
@@lajulasse4332 That’s been my experience. Some people don’t set the parking brake on the airplane when we are stopped and those electric motors holding the airplane get really warm.
@@Apollo580 On the 220, there is a locking mechanism that locks the brakes once the park brake is set, so it doesn’t need electrical power to stay on if that’s what your referring to.
@@lajulasse4332 I know that. I'm also typed on the jet. My point is people treat the brakes like they're hydraulic brakes and just hold them with their feet instead of setting the parking brake. Therefore, causing them to heat up and causing over temp issues.
@@Apollo580 oh ok, that’s an interesting point.
What airline are you flying for?
Bombardier got set up by murica because it was trying to challenge the commercial aircraft duopoly. Well, I guess bought up by Airbus was the best outcome the Canzcuck vassal state could’ve ever ask for.😂
Less coffee young man.
Auto throttle glitches, noisy cockpit, poor documentation, various flaws. Apparently, pilots are not too impressed…
Made in Canada.
If the world doesn't go to complete crap, over the next decade we're going to see some amazing paradigm shifting aircraft. For example, hybrid electric airliners in the 220 category, but with only a single engine and even better performance, along with the ability to generate and store energy when landing. Think of the super steep approaches this will enable.
On the downside pilots will eventually be replaced by remote pilots who operate many aircraft simultaneously from some comfy office, then once the public get used to that, no pilots.
We're almost at the end of a golden age. Good to appreciate the fine aircraft and those who operate them while we can!
Apparently your airline ( I figured it out) hasn’t given you the go-ahead to feature them in your videos, which is a shame. Who could be a better ambassador?
Hey thank you!
@@MaxAfterburnerusa You were way too kind on the 737, BTW. It’s a solid design, but dated as hell, and Boeing can’t update it much or they lose the common type. Without those constraints, Bombardier was free to build the right airplane for the times. Airbus stole this thing like a bag of Halloween candy on November 1.
I hope that the A220, after Airbus takeover will have an upgrade on the cockpit to be a hybrid of A320 and A350 cockpit. The cockpit of the A220 kind of looks like a mesh-up between an Airbus cockpit and a Boeing 787 cockpit. I mean, Airbus could come up with a NEO version or so of the A220 and have both options offered, since one of the benefits of Airbus cockpit (other than A310 and A310) is that for every variant, the location of panels are mostly at the expected location, such as IRS, HYD, FUEL and ENG FIRE switches. (Boeing in comparison is a mess. Like the new 777X shares cockpit design with the 787 as oppose to the OG 777, the 747 has its own layout, the 757/767 shares the same layout other than 767-400, 737 cockpit is in its own etc.).
The A220 is kind of an outlier in the Airbus ecosystem, which is kind of sad, because dual ratings between A220 and A320 family will be mostly impossible. I do understand that the A220 was developed as C-series by Bombadier, which has no relationship with Airbus during development, but since Airbus is now in control of the C-series program (Bombadier has dropped out from it), I do hope to see a version where it has the DNA of Airbus in the cockpit. I think some of the reasons that most existing airlines with A320s in their fleet don't consider the A220 because to them, its an aircraft from a different manufacturer but offered by the same company.
Bombardier had the cockpit designed by pilots for pilots, which means it is optimal. Perhaps Airbus could use the 220 as a template to redesign/enhance the 320 and 350 families (at least starting with cockpit). Great video
Different mindset.
- Be visionary, ahead of your time and become an example to follow;
- Be short-term thinking, money first. Satisfying low-cost carriers who do not want to train pilots to save money.
So… Now that my absolute favorite narrow body transport is quickly being retired from PAX service (Boeing 757), the A220 has become my new favorite. After I win one of the large multi-state lottos, I’m going to purchase one as a private world traveler… converting some cargo space to additional fuel tanks, of course. I’ll be needing pilots and will be paying top dollar if you are interested. 😉😂
Well, after 400 hours on this baby, I can tell you it's not flawless. It's noisy both in cabin and cockpit. At M0,80, you'll get 80db at least in the cockpit. And the speakers are so cheap it's just impossible to fly without a headset in CRZ. The build quality is cheap, a number of things wear out very quickly, the sun screens in the cockpit are so bad no one uses them.
It also has many bugs in various systems making it a not so easy to operate aircraft.
The autothrottle alone has a dedicated chapter in the FCOM listing all its potential misbehaviors and it isn't short.
It's a nice aircraft to fly, I love its handling in the air, it looks good etc but it's quite far from being a masterpiece.
Does that hypercritical wing increase laminar flow or something?
It delays the onset of wave drag! But I’m probably the wrong guy to talk aero 😂
@@MaxAfterburnerusa yeah no problem. Stuff I don't have to worry about in my little piper Archer. It ain't going supersonic or.transonic :)
damm..... the cockpitt needs some huge upgrades pffffff .... no touchscreens? and million physical buttons pfffff......
Sorry Charlie, Boeing is a has been and Airbus is the new king and queen of the sky
