I often post pics of the @Airbus #A350 flightdeck and get lots of questions about what is where and what does that do…so a little thread to help explain the screens and options that #WePilots have with them using my limited knowledge. First… the middle #aviation #airbus #Pilot

The two centre screens are electronically split into four. The upper two give information such as systems on left and anomalies on right. Lower are used to give the aircraft information from the pilots, such as route, weather, speeds, performance details, etc. #aviation

The displays in front of either pilot are configurable as the pilot wishes. The inboard display is seen here with camera and airfield navigation system displayed but it can also be primary flight instruments and navigation. The outboard is our Electronic Flight Bag. #aviation

In this configuration we see the primary flight instruments with aircraft configuration below. Terrain overlay on the navigation display with vertical profile of the flight shown below. On the right I’d the chart and aircraft position. Great situational awareness in this config.

The navigation display can also be selected to show weather and in this case you can see a line of significant storms. The hatched element is below the aircraft level and we can see the entire vertical profile on the vertical display. Although I don’t have a pic here. #weather

When configured certain screens are touch capable making interactions much easier for the pilot rather than using mouse and keyboard. Hope this little insight was useful and as ever…happy to answer questions when I get the time. #WePilots #Airbus #UI #Pilot #aviation #avgeek
