Airbus A320 • professional flight simulation in 360°

This 360°-shooting was realized for my client Meventi.
I was accompanied by a pilot and teacher during night time.
In daytime the simulators, located at the airport, are constantly in use
for professional pilot training purposes.

What you see is landing in Los Angeles.

The "outdoor-view" is simulated on a curved screen outside the simulator,
not like you might have thought on monitors substituting the windows.
As a result, the situation is simulated even more realistic,
as you are really looking through the window glass.

A very funny situation occurred while shooting... after some time...
and even the pilot needed quite a long a time to find out what suddenly
caused all systems to go down and the alarms were on.
The computer refused to restart...
As I needed the plane to stand still frozen in the air for my 360°-shots...
yes this is possible although not being realistic...
we stood still quite long times.
What we didn't know was, that the fuel consumption was not stopped while in that artificial state of being frozen in the air.

So, finally he found out, that we had run out of fuel!
