English
In this Picture I can see the Airbus A380 also known as the super jumbo jet.
This is a wide body aircraft that can carry up to 853 passengers. The fuselage of the aircraft is white and I can also see the UAE (United Arabe Emirates) flag printed on the tail. This aircraft is operated by one of the world’s biggest international airlines, Emirates.
There are two airstairs to board or exit the aircraft. I am able to see some people around the aircraft and people who seem to be airport workers besides that I can see a man using a florescent vest.
By the weather condition and the sand in the background I would say this aircraft is in an Arabian airport.
In addition, this aircraft is fly-by- wire, a system in which the pilots, in reality, control the computer which then controls the plane.
This aircraft is packed with cutting edge technology.
This aircraft is bigger and heavier than all others therefore it has more inertia but in terms of maneuverability it is very agile. As a matter of fact, this is the most advanced aircraft in terms of technology.
What was happening before this picture was taken?
Before the picture was taken the cabin was probably being prepared to embark the passengers and the pilots were preparing the cockpit for the next flight. For this specific aircraft there is an application that calculates the performance of the aircraft for each flight.
What you will happen next?
Well, next the doors will be sealed and the pilots will request a pushback tractor and start the engines. After that, the captain and first officer will start the takeoff procedures that must include these elements: Take-off weight;
Flap setting; And procedures for recovery in the event of an emergency. All of that is done in accordance with the SOPs established by the company.
To what extent you agree or disagree with this statement. 'Although Airlines do not have control over sudden changes in weather conditions that may cause long flight delays and cancellations, the airline companies should still provide food and shelter for passengers'
I totally agree with this statement as I think the airline companies should look after the passengers from the moment of check in, from the departure airport all the way to the end of the flight at the arrival airport.
Therefore, providing food and shelter in case of delays and cancellations is a must, in my opinion.
