Thumbs up Airbus A350XWB certified

Airbus has announced certification of the A350-900 with Rolls Royce engines by the EAS. FAA expected to follow shortly.

http://www.airbus.com/newsevents/new...certification/

Congrats to Airbus on a well run flight test program! Can't wait to see more of those sexy winglets!

Some key points:
* 268t and 275t MTOWs
* not yet ETOPS / EDTO certified
* common pilot type rating with A330

Also check out the photos and videos of ALL FIVE prototypes in formation at www.airbus.com - click on Gallery!

Good to see the A350 shares the same type rating as the A330. Much like the 787 and 777 share a common type rating.

I see my future at some point in these aeroplanes, :-).

Ha, I wish. When I say 'my future', I'm talking years down the track if/when I go overseas. Probably going to be a highly sought after aircraft.

I thought Mick was going to become a flight attendant and move down the back of the plane....
