Hi Reddit , I have one question. What airport class capatability is the Airbus A330-900Neo? I only ask as in 10 Hours I'm planning to fly a Airbus A330-900Neo from KEWR to Possibly either LPPT or LIEB however I'm not sure if The A330 can fly to LIEB I just would love a list or document citing where the aircraft can fly to. And I don't wish to fly to an airport the beautiful beast can't fly to such as possibly Ibiza. I know for sure it can fly into Lisbon I've done it a thousand times in MSFS 2020 and I've seen it be done in real life it's Ibiza that's the question.

Frequent flyer and aviation enthusiast here. I sit in FC often and can hear some of the chimes and tones that come from the cockpit. On the A320s on approach there is one that sounds like a chicken clucking 3 times I'm guessing right around 1500 or 1000 feet. What is that? I assume its part of the GPWS. Is it the same on all airbus models?

I have heard about INTEGRITY, but technologies have evolved since then and as I know Airbus extremely relies on software these days.

Hi everyone,

I’m incredibly motivated to join Airbus and pursue a career in the aerospace industry. I’ve been researching the company and its values, and I’m confident that my skills in business development, marketing, and project management align with their mission and goals.

I’ve tailored my CV and gathered some insights about what Airbus looks for in candidates, but I’m struggling to craft a standout cover letter. I want it to showcase not only my qualifications but also my passion and commitment to contributing to Airbus's success.

Could anyone share tips, successful examples, or insights about writing a cover letter that really catches Airbus recruiters' attention? Any advice from those who’ve succeeded in landing an interview or job at Airbus would be invaluable.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello everyone, I’m currently a senior in high school and facing a dilemma regarding my future in the aviation industry, which I am passionate about, particularly in the areas of management and finance. My ultimate goal is to secure high-paying positions within aviation, focusing on the operational side and management of the industry. To achieve this, I need to choose between two programs that seem quite different but could both help me reach my objectives. Here are the two options I’m considering:

The first option is the BBA in Aeronautical Management at Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). This program is highly specialized in aviation and would allow me to focus directly on managing airlines, airports, and the financial aspects of aviation. It’s a clear path towards my desired career, but the fact that the program is in Spanish raises some concerns about international recognition, even though I am fluent in Spanish.

The second option is the Bachelor in Management offered by Toulouse Business School (TBS). This program is more general but offers mandatory internships each year, which makes it very profession-oriented. It’s a private French school, and since I’ve studied in the French system, I would feel more comfortable in this environment. Additionally, the courses are taught in English, which is a significant advantage, as I am highly proficient in the language. The program is also well-regarded internationally, potentially opening doors for global opportunities.

My dilemma lies in the fact that, while the UAB program is more tailored to aviation, TBS offers a more flexible education with a broader focus on management, which could allow me to explore other industries if I choose to. That said, I’m wondering whether the TBS program will equip me with the same opportunities in aviation management and finance, which not only excites me but also offers the potential for very high earnings.

I am aware that I can complement my education with certifications in aviation and pursue a master’s degree in the field, but the initial choice between these two programs is crucial. I would appreciate your insights on which path seems better suited for a successful and highly rewarding career in managing the aviation industry.

Lucky. Lucky. Airbus.

Does the A320neo have the exact same Vertical Stablizer dimensions as the A321neo?

Is there a hub location where most jobs at Airbus defense where fixed-wing aircraft product design / engineering happens? For example, Boeing does this in St Louis, MO for the Boeing Defense & Space arm of the business. Does Airbus have an equivalent location in Europe?

Hi, has anyone here applied for the airbus graduate program ( AGGP 2025 ) ?

Hello everyone, does anyone have Cathay Pacific's A350Fcom? Can you give me a copy? Thank you very much

Who do you think bought these planes?

This is a rant / discussion post.

If you've been following Airbus's plans, and EASA news, eMCO and single pilot operations have been a hot topic. Is this really the future of aviation (next 20 years)? This profession was built on collaboration, teamwork, safety... Why doesn't Airbus focus on more important aspects of aviation instead of removing pilots from the flight deck?

It started with eMCO with the a350. Some Airbus chief (very recently) said their a320 / 21 neo planes could already be flown with one pilot. Ok? That doesn't mean we should do that. Furthermore, the A320 program is 40 years old, with virtually no changes to cockpit design. Then he mentioned they might as well remove both since if the remaining pilot has to take a bathroom break, then there would be no pilots flying! - that was his reasoning.

I see people support eMCO, and I truly don't understand it. Some will say we went from three pilots to two pilots. This is just false. We went from two pilots and a flight engineer to two pilots. The flight engineer was not certified to fly the plane, they were a systems manager (nothing wrong with that). When computers became advanced enough, certain tasks were automated, others placed in the responsibility of the pilots. If I remember correctly, early flight engineers were mechanics? People also argue that this will fix the pilot shortage, which I disagree with. Pilot staffing is way more complex. Some airlines have too little pilots in the summer, and too many in the winter. At best, this is just a blanket solution to a bigger problem. I can also see people losing interest in the profession and declining job satisfaction if new regulations pass, which could then, in the future, create another pilot shortage. It seems human greed is whats pushing this transformation. Even then, its naive to think that consumers are going to see any reduction in ticket prices - its going straight to shareholders. When does this become an ethics question? I mean seriously? How does crew cost saving outweighting insurance premiums not sound dystopian? Junior, new flight engineers had their chance to upgrade to FO. With the current narrow timeline Airbus is aiming for, how will this impact the livelyhoods of thousands of pilots? I'm not sure if this industry is ready for such a change.

Being a pilot something I've wanted since I was four. I flew my first plane when I was 11 during a sight seeing flight. If Airbus gets its way, I see this job becoming much more dull and lonely. As an aspiring aviator in Europe (22 years old), this is a disgrace towards the profession. It feels like an invitation to just ditch this indsutry all together. Its really heartbreaking and gut-wrentching.

Am I worrying about this too much? Should I relax a little and just go with the flow? I truly would like to see what others have to say about this. Does anyone have unbiased and new insights?

I've been seeing a lot of talk here recently and I'm just trying to figure out what divisions

Hi guys,

Trying to figure something out. The A320 has a RAT. Why did Sully turn on the APU if the RAT is providing blue HYD and power? Also heard that the FBW steps down to alternate/direct mode while on the RAT while the APU will allow the plane to stay in normal mode. How did that help US 1549 during this ditching?

Thanks.

There is an airbus beluga currently in Melbourne florida, delivering satellites to SpaceX, I believe. Does anyone know when it is scheduled to depart? I am local and want to see her in the air

Please share your thoughts

A little bit of excitement for an otherwise quiet airport

If we were to say gut the plane and fill it with as much extra fuel as it could carry, could it make it all the way around the planet?

Hello,

I have just been hired as an intern as a Skywise Application Developer. I would like to know if anyone has had a similar internship or has worked in a similar department (quality, engineering). I would like to know what to expect. Thank you.
