Take your flightdeck seat on a Cathay Pacific Airways flight from Auckland, New Zealand to Singapore and see how this 21st century airliner is operated and flown.
PLUS take a ride in the full motion simulator and learn about the flight systems and emergency operations!
To start with, you'll join a senior Cathay Captain in the cockpit about an hour out of Auckland where you will witness a rare display: an approach in the landing configuration, followed by a Go-Around, a high speed low level (approximately 500ft.) fly past finally followed by a landing. We then take off from Auckland, destination: Singapore.
As the aircraft cruises to its destination we'll take you behind the scenes and into the B777 simulator in Hong Kong. This gives the Captain the opportunity to give you a guided tour of the LCD equipped flight deck where you'll learn about Fly-by-Wire (FBW), Electronic Check List, Cursor Control Device (CCD) and Multi Functional Display (MFD). We also show you Thrust Asymmetry Compensation (TAC) including a failure of an engine on take-off and how TAC helps the pilot.
Finally we'll then rejoin the B777 for the landing at Singapore. This is a 'must-see' for anyone interested in this incredible jet, whether you are a curious passenger or budding airline pilot!
