WIN Series 2023: Introduction
Together, let us discover ways to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions during all the flight phases!
Proper Landing Gear Servicing for Safe Operations
Proper servicing of landing gear is obviously important to ensure proper landing gear operations during takeoff and landing. It is equally important to ensure proper retraction and extension to prevent potential interference with other aircraft systems in the case of abnormal landing gear conditions. If the landing gear servicing tasks are not properly performed, issues […]

Use the Correct BARO Setting for Approach
Using an erroneous barometric reference setting during approach may cause the aircraft to fly lower than the published approach path, when the vertical guidance and trajectory deviations use the barometric reference. This can lead to a risk of controlled flight into terrain in poor visibility conditions or at night. This article explains the potential consequences […]
Seat Change before Takeoff
This WIN video highlights what the flight crew must take into account to prepare the aircraft for a safe takeoff, and particularly what must be considered when one or more passengers request a seat relocation after the takeoff preparation is completed.
High Altitude Airport Operations
This video deals with the operations on high altitude airports. The objective is to share with you some good operational practices for this type of operation.
A321XLR First flight – Best of
Hamburg, 15 June 2022 – Airbus’ first A321XLR (Xtra Long Range) has successfully accomplished its first flight. The aircraft, MSN 11000, took off from Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport at 11:05 hrs CEST for a test flight which lasted approximately four hours and 35 minutes. The aircraft’s crew consisted of experimental test pilots Thierry Diez and GabrielDiaz de […]
Take Care of Your Brakes
All Brakes are subject to wear. Some brakes may also experience oxidation which can lead to brake rupture. In the case of a brake rupture or if brakes are too worn, the aircraft braking performance is reduced. This can result in a runway overrun if the full braking capacity is required such as during a […]
