beautiful! can you tell me what the purpose of that glas nose is?

 

Cut and paste:

 

"The main reason for the glass nose was locating runways and/or drop zones (paratroopers and airdrops).

 

You have to remember that russia has some pretty crappy weather, and during the winter some places are whiteout conditions pretty non-stop. The nose windows allow a navigator to easily scan for a runway, landmark, or other item while the captain and copilot focus on flying. The IL-76 does have weather radar. For instance, IL-76 aircraft are regularly allowed to land at Kabul airfield during winter storms while western types are advised that the airport is closed and diverted. As Kabul has until recently been a VFR only airport the ability to land there in winter has been a key facet of IL-76 traffic there."

 

So basically although the IL-76 will be equipped with probably three GPS units. The navigator can still look out off his office and make a visual check (VFR)...... and maybe grow a few plants as well. :search:

 

It has been said that I have a glass jaw.....but that is something completely different. :Black Eye:
