![]() ![]() The final tab is the Performance Calculations tab. Another useful tab for new pilots is the checklist tab, with the ability to provide a step by step guide from before starting to securing the cockpit, this is a very useful tab. The ground services page works in correspondence with JarDesign’s Ground Handling Deluxe. The INS page is very useful for new users as if you are worried about messing up when entering waypoints you have the option to load a flight plan with all the waypoints. Refuel and Payload work in similar ways, you scroll to the value you want and can even quick load or normal load the adjustments. It is also where you can find the final weight data. Next in line is the load calculator, this can be used to fine adjust the layout of cargo, passengers and fuel. Avitab is required to access the following pages in the EFB: Chart fox or Navigraph charts, World maps and aircraft manuals. Not being a real-world pilot, the aircraft flew how I would expect the real aircraft to fly.Īnother vital system is the EFB, Felis has integrated 9 options into the EFB. ![]() The bird flew perfectly in every stage of flight, be that taking off, cruising or landing, Felis has done a great job on the flight dynamics, the aircraft flew well and felt heavy like it should. On engine start, the sounds provided an amazing ordeal and the spool up upon take-off added to the overall audio experience. In my maiden flight with the Felis 747, I’m starting out from Heathrow-Copenhagen in the iconic British Airways Landor livery. First ImpressionsĪt first glance, the Felis 747-200 is a looker, the 3D modelling throughout the aircraft caught my eye and is a testament to the modelling skills that Felis is known for, and complementing that is highly detailed textures which provided me with a perfect photogenic platform for some screenshots. I found it had the right amount of information and I didn't find myself being drowned out in information. I used the INS guide to help me learn the CIVA INS navigation system as I had only had minor knowledge of the INS previously. Each manual consists of an in-depth guide to learning the aircraft. Documentation included in the Felis 747-200 includes 4 manuals: Cockpits, Autopilot, INS and Normal Procedures. The installation of the Felis 747 is simple, it is a simple drag and drop into the aircraft folder and the aircraft is ready to fly. I was lucky enough to become a beta tester for this aircraft and I will note that my position in the project has no effect on my opinion of the aircraft. The demand for longer range aircraft with increased payload quickly led to the improved -200, which featured more powerful engines, increased MTOW, and greater range than the -100 thus allowing more passengers to travel and explore further. The 747-200 is a successor to the older 747-100, which was powered by Pratt & Whitney JT9D-3A engines, only offering airlines enough payload and range for medium-haul operations, but this range was marginal for long-haul route sectors. The source of the jammed door was a piece of string that was found near the door by the maintenance crew, passenger Jonathan Thalacker told ABC News.Built in 1968, the 747-200 was a major breakthrough in aviation. No one was injured and there were 168 people on board the plane, officials said. That meant the only issue was a lack of taxiing controls once on the ground, necessitating a tow from the runway to the gate, Dougherty said. When the first officer made the landing "perfectly," the passengers broke out into spontaneous applause, Dougherty said.īecause the first officer was accustomed to the controls on the right seat of the cockpit, he remained there, the crew explained to passengers. The captain explained to the passengers that the door was jammed and he couldn't get back in, Dougherty said, adding: "It was very, very bizarre." "There wasn't a huge panic but some confusion." You could see the captain out there," passenger Jesse Dougherty told ABC News. "About half way through there seemed to be some talking at the front of the plane. The cockpit door malfunctioned, locking the pilot out of the cockpit, airport officials told KTNV, noting that the first officer made the landing. and the plane landed safely at McCarran International Airport around 12:25 p.m., officials told ABC affiliate KTNV. The call about Flight 1651 came in around 12:10 p.m. — - A Delta Air Lines flight heading from Minneapolis to Las Vegas was forced to make an emergency landing today after the pilot was locked out of the cockpit, airport officials said. ![]()
