This is the type of aircraft that I am flying most of the time now. Look at the dimension, its very long indeed. A camera fitted at the top of vertical stabilizer looking downward so that I can see the aircraft's body especially the main wheels perspective to the taxiways. Another one is fitted under the belly to show the nose wheel. This feature TACS (Taxi aids camera system) really help during ground maneuvering.
The Primary Flight Display (PFD). This is where my eyes glued on to during final approach to land.
Speed 155 knots, altitude 270 feet above ground level and about 1 nm to the runway. Notice the big yellow V ? It is the pitch limit for landing. If the pitch more than 10 deg up, aural warning PITCH PITCH will be sounded and if maintained, the tail will strike the ground by virtue of the long fuselage. Scary huh ?? Not really, as long as the approach is stabilized with the correct slope, speed and rate of descend, pitch angle of 5 deg up just nice for the greasily landing.
