HIGHLIGHTS

Without a doubt, when an aircraft manufacturer produces a new aircraft, the aviation community is always eager to get a closer look at what this new aircraft has to offer. With the Bombardier C Series (now designated the Airbus A220) being the newest mid-sized aircraft on the market, there is no shortage of curiosity on what makes this aircraft special. Throughout this program, we will be examining the operations of the Airbus A220-300 as operated by AirBaltic to destinations such as Riga, Antalya, Keflavik and London Gatwick.

Starting off with an introduction to the crew, viewers will be able to see the preparation that takes place prior to the pilots arriving onboard the aircraft. While this segment may seem insignificant, it is perhaps one of the most important aspects of the pilots’ responsibility prior to departure. After completing their paperwork and boarding the aircraft, viewers are able to see for the first time an up-close look at the cockpit displays and the many intuitive features of this aircraft.

As far as the highlights of this program is concerned, on our first round trip to Antalya, the most significant highlight was the cockpit presentation. Throughout this presentation, you will be quite impressed by the level of advanced technology packed into this aircraft. From “virtual” electronic circuit breakers to remarkably advanced map displays, this aircraft is a wonderland to those of you who are intrigued by the technical aspects of aviation.

During other segments of this programs you will also learn more about our pilots and how they got into the world of aviation and their thoughts on the A220 after flying other types of aircraft for many years. Given the fact that this is a new aircraft, the admiration is also focused on the exterior of the aircraft. In another highlight of this program, you will be able to follow the Captain as he completes a thorough walk-around inspection of the aircraft which allows the viewers to admire the stunning engineering of this aircraft, which I personally find very appealing. The final highlight of this program worth mentioning focuses more on the overall viewing experience. For many years, Just Planes has made a tremendous effort to offer their viewers numerous perspectives through the use of multiple camera angles. This program feature up to 6 cameras and they offer unique views of the cockpit and the amazing scenery outside. At times, certain segments are replayed using different camera to offer the viewers a perspective that only the pilots can enjoy.
Ultimately, with over 4 hours of A220 content, if you knew very little about this aircraft before, I can guarantee that you will learn more than you bargained for through this program. Thanks to airlines like AirBaltic, aviation enthusiast can now witness for the first time the excitment of flying the A220 Perhaps in the future it would be nice to see a video that focuses on the Q400!
