@Pvjinflight The A340 aint more fuel efficient... The A340 and Il-96 takes about the same amount of fuel,and the Il-96 takes more passengers and can fly longer... The Aviadvigatel PS90A1 is actually a very fuel efficient engine,and performs beautifully :D
@ollo1982 The Il-96 takes less passengers and cannot fly as far as the A340 especially the 500HGW which has a maximum range of 17, 000km compared to the Il-96's maximum range of just 11, 500km. The Il-96-400 would've been a better contender, especially with the PW2000 engines, but it seems Ilyushin won't be making a passenger version of it which is a shame because it's one of my favourite aircraft
@aspiringdrummer17 Yes... i know about the -500 series... but im talking about the A340-300... Yes... very agree with you there... the Il-96-400 is one of my favourite aircrafts to... just simply love the Il-96 :D
@slh950 Maybe because the airline would have to start a whole new training process for this plane... It is completely different then western planes! It would be a big challenge for piltos aswell for airlines to maintain etc.. It is very different. : )
@TheWrestlingrobot Maybe the Russians should consider making Ilyushin or Tupolev series more familiar to western pilots, so they can sell more planes.
@GatwickSpotting the plane was coming on an angle caused by the crosswind.after touchdown he corrected the course slightly o the right to center the plane on he runway...this is normal...
@GatwickSpotting jaja wow that was a low punch,,,, but well dont get into a discussion with him,,he told me once in a comment that aviation is a gay hobby for him but he loves aviation so that should tell you everything about him ,, he is a fagget
@luislaurencio well, I told that to a friend of mine as a joke when he commented on one of my videos saying that I used a gay song...but maybe your complex doesn't let you understand that it was a joke...and I'm not gay, but that shouldn't be the problem here... low punch??, sure, he flies a Cessna, that's how far he got on his pilot's experience...you don't even need to have a Private License to fly a Cessna and now you're God before an FS pilot? Besides, it's not rude, it's just impolite..
@wilfredotour2 yeah but he wait too much to center the plane he could have done it a little bit earlier ,,,jajaj and gatwickspotting called you an arm chair pilot jaja te apagaron to
@stasisnu18 i think it's ok,because then people starts complaining "Oh that thing is too noisy!".

I don't know why more airlines don't buy this nice plane ... its better than an a340 but half the price!
slh950 10 months ago
@slh950 Probably because A340 is much more fuel economical.

The pilot was compensating for a stiff crosswind on landing. Routine procedure.

@wilfredotour2 I know about that, I do fly a Cessna 172. It just seemed he didn't quite pull it off as well as others.

@GatwickSpotting well, he turned the plane to the very center of the runway
