Airbus redesigns A350 cockpit center console
Airbus has officially overhauled its A350 cockpit control panel, following earlier reports of engine failure caused by the aircrew’s spilt beverages. (www.thedrive.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Evidently my husband is now qualified to be a pilot! The cup holders in his BMW are quite large yet that doesn't keep him from holding his sippy cup full of coffee in his right hand, lidless, while driving. I appreciate all of you real pilots out there! Thank you!
The first rule of beverage passing (should be mandatory IOE training) is to take the cup and pass it to the pilot on the outside shoulder as to not EVER get close to spilling it on the center console. It also happens to be where the cup holders are on most jets anyway. Problem solved! :D
Airliners, no problem.....corporate jets not as easy. Good point however.
Torsten Hoff: there are sippy cups out there. They're called YETI :)
Bigger cup holder??
These incidents could have killed hundreds! They should ground the whole fleet and make Airbus go through an entire certification program from scratch!
