VH-KDK Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I did a couple of A310 flights many years ago and a great plane it was to fly on especially the first one as there were only about 60 passengers! This trip is from Nice to Dubrovnik. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Excellent Martyn!!! I used to work these! They were squat and fat, really odd looking, and in the aft cabin too because you walked uphill! But the cockpit avionics and computer racks made it a dream to work on. Airbus put a lot of thought into this cockpit, especially for maintenance. It was just so perfectly designed in my opinion. Nice shots here, I really like the terrain in the first shot and that landing shots was great too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed that looking along the fuselage of some Airbus planes that the last few windows do go up at the rear but I never realised that the floor went up too! Quite a hairy landing as I had to do it manually. I cheated on the approach view as I was a fair bit to the right of the centre line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you should see it Martyn, it actually is a gentle shop UP hill! The F/A's didn't like it as they had to push the carts up that little slope. But I thought it was the coolest design!

You mean up the stairs or on the upper deck. I have only travelled downstairs on the A380, the one time I booked on the upper deck we had our itinery changed by SQ because of the major flooding in Thailand and flew back to Oz on a good old 773!.

OK, i had to say up the stairs. I should better stick to German language... I have only travelled upstairs on the 380, but don´t worry, the seats are the same as on any other plane. Just more. And relatively less window seats to take pictures. And longer boarding / deboarding time. And longer waiting time at the luggage carousel. Man, I like smaller jets....
