I used to work as cabin crew for Monarch and spent a lot of time on the A300. I still think they have a great presence to them - I used to call it 'Thunderbird 2' due to its stocky fuselage.
Thanks for sharing, brought back some great memories :-)
There used to be flights from Edinburgh with Monarch, haven't seen any recently, do they still fly from Edinburgh, or Glasgow even? I ask because i've used the airline twice, once to Majorca in 2007 and again in 2008 to Alicante and both were by far the best flights we'd had including Thomson, Thomas Cook (twice), EasyJet, Flyglobespan and we're about to use Jet2 for the first time so we'll see what they're like soon enough.
'NO BALL GAMES' I Really don't think anyone would be playing football or something like that, they would be staring at the planes while they take off, don't you think?
Nice vid, i've taken Monarch airlines Twice. Once to Portugal, and once to Lanzarote, I'm taking Thomsan airlines in a month and can't wait, i'm excited to be taking a brand new airline, is Thomsan better than Monarch?
@samsterdahamster i fly with my parents all the time with thompson there a really good airline i have been every year since i was born which i am now 16 and had no problems with them atall this year i am flyin wid monarch are they a good airline ?
mm...saw this monarch airbus the other week before i flew to gran canaria....also with monarch....i did notice its looking rather tatty on top......why is that...or does it just need a paint job......another awesome clip mr...well done u never fail to impress me...
@airindia16 because the steering isn't controlled by rudder under 80 knots, its controlled by a little wheel to the left side of the control column known as the "Tiller".
Although there is 7 degrees of nose steering when rudder is full left/right.
@GatwickSpotting oh wow! thx for the detail! so that means that the rudder is never used during taxiing but rather when flying in the air or during the takeoff (or landing) roll?
@airindia16 There is a special steering device in the cockpit which turns the front wheels. The rudder is used to steady the aircraft during take off/landing and to control it during flight.
The captain/FO depending on how many the A300 is equiped with has a tiller, a small steering wheel located under the side mounted windows. A small application of movement in either direction is sufficient to keep the aircraft taxing on the line. Usually the captain takes the role of taxing the aircraft.
The tiller can only be used at low speeds such as taxing. On takeoff and landing nosehweel steering proves direction control both from an aerodynamic point of view (rudder) and runway (nose/w
In crosswinds into wind aileron is used to prevent the upwind wing from lifting both on approach and T/O. Nosewheel steering interconnected to the rudder also allows better directional control and the transition from nosewheel to gears up still allows yaw control for directional control.
Cross controls (left aileron) and (right rudder) or vise versa prevents the upwind wing from lifting while trackijg centreline in both TO/landing.
The nosewheel has limited turning authority (safety).
