Well we get Pelicans flying around our city and I would imagine that any hit from one of them could be a bit visually dangerous for an Aircraft.
Yeah probably only for VFR aircraft.
There is a video by mentour pilot which is really nice where he talked about a 747 that flew through volcanic ash. Part of their problems was that their windshields got absolutely destroyed and you couldn’t see through them anymore. So they had to land using IFR instruments
Probably a bit off topic but what do they do when a heap of bird poo lands on the windows? Do they ground the plane until a ground person gets up there on a ladder to clean it off or do they have a wiper/washer system?
Well the A320 has a 2 Wipers for each side. Their original intent would be to clear rain but I guess they could also clear a heap of bird poo. And in some cockpit videos you can actually bird poo on the windshield but I imagine you aren’t talking about a little spot of poo.
Im not too smart in this topic. But I think Hand tracking would be one thing for them to have to enable (I don’t know how hard that would be). And the other thing is that there is an incredibly tiny market for that since the Vision Pro is rare.
Would be cool but I don’t think IPACS will make the effort since there are other projects they constantly work on.
The second problem (I am not an Expert) seems to me like automatic App management by your Device. To save energy your Phone resets Aerofly while you are playing some other game. So I don’t think Aerofly can do much about the second problem.
Looking forward to the release of Global on iOS! I have only been a light user in the past, but looking to get more into with this release.
Does anybody use Navigraph to complement Aerofly? I would like to add a bit more realism but was wondering if I planned a route in Navigraph would I then be able to replicate it in Aerofly? Or is the database totally different due to using different AIRAC cycles? (I know you cant import flight plans etc)
For example will SIDs and STAR's be different? If a STAR was missing are you able to manually add into the Boeing and Airbus FMCs?
Well the SID's and STAR'S (AF 2023) do exist but their name won’t be the same so you would have to look through them in Aerofly to see which are the same. Im guess this is the same for global.
