foliainfx Posted Saturday at 07:39 PM Posted Saturday at 07:39 PM Although iniBuilds keep denying this problem, it is 100% the case that the cockpit model is wrong. The correct pilot position in the iniBuilds varies from the real pilot position. The first image shows the seating position that is correct according to iniBuilds, the position however does not show the DU pb. The second image shows an Airbus safety first article (https://safetyfirst.airbus.com/are-you-properly-seated/ fig.1 Eye reference point principle) providing a guide on how to be seated properly during critical flight phases. The third image shows the pilot position seen through META glasses. On both the second and third image two things show: the DU pb are visible and the blind area (see Airbus safety article, fig.7) are the same, while in the ini A350 the blind area does not match the safety article. I have been told that iniBuilds' reference pilots have been flying their A350 in the same position as seen in the first image attached, if this is indeed the case in real life I expect iniBuilds to take reasonable action as an incorrect position during critical flight phases is a safety hazard to crew and passengers.
B747-8f Posted Monday at 11:56 AM Posted Monday at 11:56 AM This has been legitimately criticized several times on the forum and on discord. Fact is that the cockpit geometry of the A350 is completely off ( as on the A300 as well ) and that INI is resistant to advice. They just don‘t get it or simply don‘t want to accept the criticism as it is obviously very complex and labor intensive to fix. So this is a deficiency that will never be fixed. No good advertising for INI though…
foliainfx Posted Monday at 01:52 PM Author Posted Monday at 01:52 PM I agree with what you've said. Still my primary focus is that their reference pilots agree with the incorrect model. If those pilots are flying the same spot irl they would in the sim, they are a safety hazard to flight crew and passengers. Their seating position would be too high throwing their flight path angle perception off and can cause issues operating the rudder aswell as instruments. I have attached an image which is according to Airbus a too high seating position. This gets really close to the false position (according to them and their pilots right) in the iniBuilds. I hope iniBuilds will take necessary measures as this is a hazard that should not be happening, especially under several pilots.
