The Airbus A380 is a very large wide-body airliner, developed and produced by Airbus. It is the world's largest passenger airliner and the only full-length double-deck jet airliner. Airbus studies started in 1988, and the project was announced in 1990 to challenge the dominance of the Boeing 747 in the long-haul market. The then-designated A3XX ...

Airbus aircraft designs after the A300/A310 are almost completely controlled by fly-by-wire equipment. These newer aircraft, including the A320, A330, A340, A350 and A380 operate under Airbus flight control laws. [7] The flight controls on the Airbus A330, for example, are all electronically controlled and hydraulically activated.
Cockpit controls and instrument panel of a Cessna 182D Skylane. Generally, the primary cockpit flight controls are arranged as follows: [2] A control yoke (also known as a control column), centre stick or side-stick (the latter two also colloquially known as a control or joystick), governs the aircraft's roll and pitch by moving the ailerons (or activating wing warping on some very early ...
Airbus A350 Warning Display ECAM on an Airbus A380 at the center ECAM on an Airbus A400M at the center An electronic centralised aircraft monitoring ( ECAM ) or electronic centralized aircraft monitoring is a system that monitors aircraft functions and relays them to the pilots.
EFIS on an Airbus A380 EFIS on an Eclipse 500 Garmin G1000 on a Diamond DA42 Primary flight display of a Boeing 747-400. In aviation, an electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) is a flight instrument display system in an aircraft cockpit that displays flight data electronically rather than electromechanically.
ARINC 615 defines a high-speed data loader protocol layered upon the ARINC 429 physical layer. ARINC 629 defines a high-speed, multi-transmitter, TDMA extension to ARINC 429, superseded by AFDX . ARINC 664 Part 7 defines the use of a deterministic Ethernet network as an avionic databus in later aircraft like the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787 .
A takeoff/go-around switch (TO/GA; / ˈ t oʊ ɡ ə /) is a switch on the autothrottle of modern large aircraft, with two modes: takeoff (TO) and go-around (GA). The mode is dependent on the phase of flight; usually, on approach to land, the autopilot will be set to approach mode, therefore if the TO/GA switch is pressed it will activate the go-around mode of the autothrottle (about 90–92% ...
