CHIEF INSTRUCTOR BRIEFING & OPERATIONAL NOTES

The PW1500G Geared Turbofans feature automated engine motoring to protect against thermal bow. During engine start, allow the starter to motor the engine core until the FADEC automatically introduces fuel.

AIRCRAFT TRIVIA & HIGHLIGHTS

1FACT #1

Originally designed by Bombardier as the CSeries, the aircraft was acquired by Airbus in 2018 and rebranded as the A220.

2FACT #2

The passenger windows are significantly larger than on any other single-aisle aircraft, giving the cabin an airy, widebody feel.

3FACT #3

Because of its ultra-quiet geared turbofans, the A220 easily complies with the world's strictest airport night noise curfew regulations.
