I could visit the cokpit.


The Primary Flight Display of dash 400 reminds me an exciting memory of a flight simulator at Haneda. Cruising at 35,000 feet.


He shows me variety of informations on a CRT of the center pedestel. Now the CRT displays the fuel flow chart of four engines.


The center CRT displays the power status of four engines.


Fliying straight to Manila heading 220 degrees.


Uhm, after all, airline's pilot is wonderful!


As the plane approaches to Singapore, tropical cumulonimbus appears! The plane flies skillfully in the vacant interspace.




Feb.26(Sat), Singapore to Bangkok (13:05-14:20) for 2h15m on SQ064 (Singapore Air)


Mar.1(Wed), Bangkok to Hong Kong (10:30-14:20) for 2h50m on TG628 (Thai Air)
Boeing 777


Clear for Takeoff! Runway form this direction always let my heart beat.




Engine cover slides while thre reverse thrust is working.




Mar.2(Thu), Hong Kong to Narita (15:15-20:00) for 3h45m on CX500 (Cathey Pacific Air)


Hold Short of Runway.


Due to the rainy weather, beautiful landing illuminations are turned on. On the left side of the runway, four red lights of the VASI(Visual Approach Slope Indicator) which tells the plane approaching wether if the plane is right on the glide path or not, are visible. We are on the ground, and of course, out of the glid path, then all the four lights are visible in red color. (Depend on the angle, numbers and color of the lights vary.)










Recently, this service is very common, and is really helpful.




Came back to Narita at night.
