Description

I have seen the film SULLY & it is one of the best aviation movies ever made & I can highly recommend it if you are interested in aviation. While watching it, I decided to try it for myself & Andy, our technical manager has re-created the ditching software.

This 90 minute experience  will start with our standard A320 briefing followed by computerised recreation of events on that day.

You will start first with about half an hour, practising handling the A320. When you are ready we’ll go through the 3 scenarios shown in the film. First we’ll turn immediately for La Guardia & see how a glide approach can be made back to the airfield. Then we’ll do the same take off & after the bird strike, wait for 35 seconds (thinking time) & then turn back. You will see this could not be done.

Finally you will again take the aircraft & fly the exact track Cheseley Sullenberger took & ditch the aircraft into the Hudson River. It’s awesome & very inspiring & a bit nerve-racking. – Captain Chris Rigby
