Acro Aircraft Seating has won a contract with Pegasus to line-fit fifty Airbus A321neo aircraft. Deliveries to the low-cost Turkish carrier will start in the first quarter of 2025, with the inaugural order completed by the end of 2029, and the potential for fifty further aircraft to follow soon after. The Series 9 in rich navy vegan leather will be pre-reclined to a comfort- and space-enhancing 21.5 degrees and will feature custom trim and finish, with subtle touches of the vivid red and bold yellow which feature in the striking Pegasus Airlines’ livery. Announcing the contract, Neil Cairns, CEO of Acro, said, “We are delighted to have been chosen as the preferred partner of the dynamic and forward-thinking Pegasus Airlines and we’re looking forward to creating, with the Pegasus team, a distinctively bespoke version of our versatile Series 9. “The Series 9 has been hailed, with justification, as a game-changer; it’s known as the Fixed Back, which truly optimises passenger living space, even in high-density cabins. Its attributes are perfect for today’s marketplace, with benefits including competitive weight and costs, elegant clean lines and reduced part count to support low maintenance and fast turnaround. “Inevitably, it’s the comfort of this class-leading seat which gives it its Unique Selling Point. Generous pax width has been achieved without compromise to either armrest or aisle width, so that passengers enjoy outstanding stretch-out legroom even at a reduced pitch. We’re confident that it will be a huge hit for Pegasus Airlines and their passengers when it takes to the air.” https://lnkd.in/dSyeWYuT #aircraftinteriors #aircraftseating #airbus #aviationindustry

Refuse To Sit In Row 30 On The Boeing 787 - 9 Dreamliner! I will now say a few things about the Dreamliner that will help make your own experience better, should you ever fly on this equipment. I am overly familiar with the Cockpit of the Dreamliner but, I had never actually taken a flight as a passenger on one. The feature I liked the most is its dimming windows. We flew over Iran 🇮🇷 at noon, and in the Cabin, it looked like it was midnight. BUT, ... while the Dreamliner is now my new favourite Aircraft, I have 2 things I wouldn't recommed about it. 1. If you can help it, try to avoid Row 30 on the B787 - 9. The "Window Seat" has no window (same issue with Row 26 on the Airbus A321), and when the mid cabin toilet is flushed (B789), it will wake you up from your sleep. The toilet is in this Row! 2. The second issue on the Dreamliner is that the reading lights in Economy Class are misaligned, so you will have to hold your book at an unnatural angle to read it. #Aviation #B789 #Dreamliner

Boeing 737 MAX vs Airbus A321. After analyzing the commercial battle between Boeing and Airbus, I have noticed that there are some simple modifications that can be made to the B737 MAX family to enhance its competitiveness against the A320neo family. One of these modifications applies to all versions and is related to the passenger cabin arrangements. It involves reintroducing the old 5-seat-per-row business class from the B737 Classic series and rebranding it as Economy Premium. It offers the advantage, compared to what Airbus offers, of one more seat per row (5 vs. 4) and wider seats with a better look. This is because Airbus has as an Economy Premium a standard Economy configuration with a blocked middle seat in each group of three. The other modification pertains to the 9 and 10 versions and is related to the fuselage doors. My proposal is to mimic the configuration of the Airbus A321 with four doors on each side. It would add a pair of additional doors between the front doors and the leading edge of the wings, keeping distance from the front of the turbofan engines. The four small emergency exits over the wings will be removed. The new 2L door would have the same height as the front door to facilitate passenger use. Having this additional door improves turnaround time since during boarding, instead of all passengers moving rearward down the aisle, a portion would split forward. Furthermore, passengers at the back would benefit from walking less distance down the aisle both during boarding and disembarkation. #Boeing #B737MAX #Boeing737 #airliner #flights

Why the #Boeing777X have folding wingtips ? The folding wingtips of the 777X reduce the aircraft's wingspan from 71.8 m (235 ft 5 in) to 64.8 m (218 ft 8 in). The folding wingtips transform the 777X from a Category F aircraft to a Category E. This shift holds significant importance as the majority of major airports globally fall into the Category E classification. Had the 777X retained its Category F status (shared with the Airbus A380), it would have imposed significant restrictions on the range of airports it could access. Certainly, here's a brief overview of ICAO airport categories: #CategoryA: Small aircraft, including those with a wingspan less than 15 meters. #CategoryB: Larger than Category A, with a wingspan between 15 and 24 meters. #CategoryC: Wingspan between 24 and 36 meters. #CategoryD: Wingspan between 36 and 52 meters. #CategoryE: Wingspan between 52 and 65 meters. #CategoryF: The largest category, with a wingspan greater than 65 meters. Definitely it is one of the great innovative ideas to improve fuel efficiency as well as accommodating this aircraft in most of the airports, wherever Boeing 777 is operating can now switch to #777X. The folding wing tips operated by a switch that matches the position of the wingtips to allow pilots to know what orientation the wingtips are quickly. After landing and slowing past 50 kts, the wingtips will automatically begin to fold. Pilots can monitor the orientation of the wingtips through new iconography on the EICAS. #Aircraft #Boeing777X #innvovation #foldingwingtips #Rakedwings #categoryE #wingspan

🎬Let’s watch the video of another Type Certification test: the Seat and Seat Belt Strength Test.   When it comes to Type Certification tests, nothing is more crucial than ensuring passenger safety during emergency landings. We conducted rigorous static tests on the seats, seat belts, and their attachment structures to simulate extreme conditions during emergency landings. The objective of these tests was to verify the strength of seat attachments to the aircraft structure and the occupant restraint attachments to either the seats or the aircraft structure. This ensures that passengers remain securely in place and are not at risk of being forcefully ejected from the cabin or colliding with the cabin itself due to inertia.   The results of these tests have been tremendously successful! We are committed to providing the utmost safety during every flight.   #certification #EH216STests #UAM #eVTOL

AIRBUS flight crew seats are designed ergonomically keeping the comfort and the performance of the crew in mind, It comes with electronic seat adjustment for both vertical shift adjustment and horizontal shift adjustment and also manual seat adjustment as an redundancy, Lumbar support adjustment, head rest adjustment, seat recliners and five point harness seat belts, and with adjustable hand rest for efficiently handling the aircraft side stick control and a compartment to stow life vest. The designing and placement of the seat which you may think as a small thing impacts hugely in the performance of the flight crew.

Reduced separation between departing Air India and arriving Indigo Mumbai - 08 Jun Lot has been said, but before we hang the pilots or the controllers, there is a need to consider some very important aspects. ⛔ Mumbai has 2 cross runways, but almost always only one is in use primarily 09/27 for various reasons. ⛔ The airport regularly handles 1000 aircraft movements a day which amounts to one dep or arrival every 1.3 min on the average. ⛔Because of this the approach clearance is generally conditional with landing clearance at short final at times which can be one mile. ⛔ Doing it any other way would cut down the number of arrivals and departure per hour and that is the luxury which is not available. The actual requirement is much more. Non scheduled aircraft are not permitted during certain hours of the day. ⛔ There is no space for adding another runway and therefore the situation will remain the same. Decongestion will only happen once Navi Mumbai airport is made. ⛔ The safety in real terms was never compromised. The Indigo aircraft was always in position of going around in the event of reject takeoff by Air India. ⛔ Infact a missed approach by indigo on short finals prior to touchdown would have brought the indigo aircraft very close to the Air India after it got airborne. ⛔ At times the camera angle can alter the distance perception. ⛔ The controllers are doing a fantastic job with a single runway. Delhi with now 4 runways have more arrival and departure delays. Any knee jerk reaction against the controllers or pilots can be counter productive and will definitely be not fair. Hope DGCA considers these factors in their investigation #DGCA #Airinida #Indigo #ATC #Controllers #Airlines #Aviation

The statement by ATC guild is almost exactly in line with what I had brought out. https://lnkd.in/gKKmqdYb I did miss out on a couple very important aspects. 1. RW 27 has a threshold significantly displaced by approx 500m or 1600ft plus another 1000 ft for instrument approach. If the indigo ac would have been making approach for beginning of the runway it would not have even been in the same frame. 2. The effect on separation - if one aircraft is rolling from the beginning of the RW and another making an approach for displaced threshold needs to be deliberated upon and accounted for. 3. The ATC manual says "a landing aircraft will not normally be permitted to cross the runway threshold on its final approach until the preceding departing aircraft has crossed the end of the runway-in-use". Key word NORMALLY. This gives a leeway to the controller to vary this based on his judgement as well as specific procedures at the airfield. This judgement is exercised by him for about a 1000 times everyday at Mumbai. Any controller who has operated at Mumbai will be able throw light on this. 4. If in this instance separation was found to be less by inquiry then the reason needs to be addressed by giving a more definitive instruction like replacing MORMALLY with SHOULD or HAS TO. 5. The inquiry has to have a specialist ATC member who has worked at Mumbai ATC for, it come out with worthwhile recommendation.

What an impressive initiative Fokker Services Group. Another example of how the #bizav industry is always looking to be more environmentally friendly. We look forward to being able to work in that new sustainably-build hanger on future projects. #sustainableaviation #technology #businessaviation
