NWA Flight 74 Featuring Thomas Ruth's great A333!

[FlyingPerson]

Only just a FEW problems.. more on that later.

Northwest Flight 74 - Operated by: Airbus Industrie 330-300 - Gate: 74 (I had to XD) - Origin: JFK Destination: MSP

Very wet at JFK today.. the tow truck couldn't help me so I had to use the two P&W4000s to reverse me out.. noisy start of the day.



Powerful takeoff after being the third in line for takeoff after an United B733 and a JetBlue E190.



Cruising comfortably at 32,000 feet. I decided to "sit" in the jumpseat.



Just 45 minutes later, all hell broke loose. I heard the engines quit on me, looked at the engine gauges falling (before they went black) and thought "this is it for this flight.."



Gliding into the skies. Looking nicer a few miles longer.



After gliding for quite a while, I emergency landed at KBFD (I think that's what it was called). The speedbrakes and the emergency brakes stopped the aircraft with violent shaking and making quite a few tires blow.



My next flight will be non-failured.. I feel like doing a 757 flight Stay tuned!

Excellent shots.

That #2 is great!

Very nice Vc in this bird.

You managed to glide down to a nearby airport ? Great move !
Strange thing in your failure screenshot is that the airspeed is at 0.... Normally this gauge doesn't need any power to work, isn't it ? I wonder if you were not victim of the icing ?

[FlyingPerson]

Daube, it's a faulty gauge. It never works. This is very much like the default A321 VC (only less detail). I think it works in the default A321, but I have no idea why it doesen't work in this one. :/

Thanks to both of you for the comments!

(You can see it in #3 too.. I was flying at Mach 0.76 but it still showed 0 :/)

Wow, great shots. The angles are really cool.
