• Aft cargo compartment lies before main gear cabin. Aft cargo compartment is used for the transport of the goods which are imported from other country. Aft cargo compartment have locks at the bottom to hold the containers so it decreases the chances of collideness. Aft cargo compartment is also neither pressurized nor heated.

• The bulk cargo compartment is at the end of the aircraft after main gear cabin. The bulk cargo compartment is used for the transport of the goods like vegetable, pets, and other goods. The bulk cargo compartment is pressurized and is heated also because it contains animals some time and they need normal temperature and pressure to survive. The pets are normally carried in dog houses.

Airbus A380 vs Boeing 747
Airbus and Boeing are the two giants when it comes to manufacturing commercial airplanes.
The A380 is the latest and biggest plane from Airbus while the 747 has been Boeing’s flagship for quite some time.
The biggest difference between the two is size as the A380 is certainly much bigger than the 747.
The Airbus A380 has a wingspan that is 15m longer to that of the 747. It is also about 50% heavier than the 747 even when empty.
83
Copyright Information goes here Company Proprietary and Confidential
The size of the A380 is such that many airport runways are not equipped to accommodate the huge planes and had to undergo major renovations to make them fit.
The major contributor to the A380′s considerable size is its 2nd deck, which extends the full length of the entire plane. The 747 is also a double Decker but its 2nd deck is just very short.
The 747′s characteristic bulge at the front of the plane is the extent of its 2nd deck. Because of the full length of the A380′s deck, it can accommodate way more passengers than the 747 without extending its length by much.
Even though the A380 is just over 2 meters longer than the 747, it can accommodate 33% more passengers in the usual 3 class seating or up to 50% more in an all economy seating.
84
Copyright Information goes here Company Proprietary and Confidential
In order to get that much weight into the air, the A380 needs a lot more thrust than the 747.
Each of the A380′s four engines can put out at least 80,000lbs of thrust while the 747′s engines only put out somewhere around 60,000lbs of thrust. But all in all, the A380 still manages to be more efficient and less costly per passenger and would be perfect in high traffic routes like major cities and regional hubs. Other areas may not benefit from having an A380 or may even lose profit because of it.
As the 747 has been in production for four decades, it is no secret that it has gone through many revisions and has many variants aside from the typical passenger and cargo models. Non-commercial variants include VIP transport, with Air Force One being the most popular, Shuttle carrier, and as an aerial fire fighter among others. The A380, being fairly new, only has passenger and cargo models at the moment.
85

Summary
1.The A380 is much bigger than the 747
2.The A380 is a true double decker while the 747 is not
3.The A380 can accommodate 33% more passengers than the 747
4.The A380 has more powerful engines than the 747
5.The 747 comes in a lot more variants than the A380

US Airways flight 1549 crash
88
Copyright Information goes here Company Proprietary and Confidential
• US Airways flight 1549 was a passenger flight from New York-La Guardia Airport to Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, operated by an Airbus A320. The airplane took off at 15:26 from LaGuardia's runway 04. The first officer was pilot flying. As they were reaching an altitude of 3000 feet the crew saw a formation of Canada geese. Before they knew it, the windscreen turned dark brown and several loud thuds were heard. Both engines began to loose power and there was a burning smell.
89

90
Copyright Information goes here Company Proprietary and Confidential
• The captain took over control of the the flight. They radioed ATC about their emergency situation: "Aaah, this is Cactus 1549. We lost thrust in both engines. We are turning back toward LaGuardia." It quickly became evident that they were not able to reach LaGuardia.
• A possible landing at the Tereboro Airport (TEB) was considered. The captain decided that they would not be able to land safely on the short runway in the middle of a built-up area. The flight descended over the Hudson River until it ditched.
91

92
Copyright Information goes here Company Proprietary and Confidential
• Contributing to the survivability of the accident was (1) the decision-making of the flight crewmembers and their crew resource management during the accident sequence; (2) the fortuitous use of an airplane that was equipped for an extended overwater flight, including the availability of the forward slide/rafts, even though it was not required to be so equipped; (3) the performance of the cabin crewmembers while expediting the evacuation of the airplane; and (4) the proximity of the emergency responders to the accident site and their immediate and appropriate response to the accident."
93

94

• The plane ended its six-minute flight at 3:31 pm with an unpowered ditching while heading south at about 130 knots (150 mph; 240 km/h) in the middle of the North River section of the Hudson River roughly abeam 50th Street (near the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum) in Manhattan and Port Imperial in Weehawken, New Jersey.

• commander said in an interview on CBS television that his training prompted him to choose a ditching location near operating boats so as to maximize the chance of rescue. The location was near three boat terminals: two used by ferry operator NY Waterway on either side of the Hudson River and a third used by tour boat operator Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises. After coming to a stop in the river, the plane began drifting southward with the current.

• National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Board Member Kitty Higgins, the principal spokesperson for the on-scene investigation, said at a press conference the day after the accident that it "has to go down [as] the most successful ditching in aviation history." "These people knew what they were supposed to do and they did it and as a result, nobody lost their life."

Evacuation• Immediately after the A320 had been ditched in
mid-river, commander gave the "evacuate" order over the PA, and the aircrew began evacuating the 150 passengers, both on to the wings through the four mid-cabin emergency window exits and into an inflatable slide that doubles as a life raft, deployed from the front right passenger door (the front left slide failed to operate as intended), while the partially submerged and slowly sinking airliner drifted down the river with the current

• . Two flight attendants were in the front, one in the rear. Each flight attendant in the front opened a door, which was also armed to activate a slide/raft, although the port side raft did not immediately deploy; a manual inflation handle was pulled. One rear door was opened by a panicking passenger, causing the A320 to fill more quickly with water.
103

104
Copyright Information goes here Company Proprietary and Confidential
• PROBABLE CAUSE: "The ingestion of large birds into each engine, which resulted in an almost total loss of thrust in both engines and the subsequent ditching on the Hudson River. Contributing to the fuselage damage and resulting unavailability of the aft slide/rafts were 1). the Federal Aviation Administration’s approval of ditching certification without determining whether pilots could attain the ditching parameters without engine thrust,
105

106
Copyright Information goes here Company Proprietary and Confidential
2). the lack of industry flight crew training and guidance on ditching techniques, and
3). the captain’s resulting difficulty maintaining his intended airspeed on final approach due to the task saturation resulting from the emergency situation.

• One passenger was in a wheelchair. Having twice walked the length of the cabin to confirm that no one remained inside after the plane had been evacuated, the captain was the last person to leave the aircraft.

Awards• The Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators awarded the
entire flight crew of Flight 1549 a Master's Medal on January 22, 2009. The medal is awarded only rarely, for outstanding aviation achievements at the discretion of the Master of the Guild. The citation for the award is:
• “ The reactions of all members of the crew, the split second decision making and the handling of this emergency and evacuation was 'text book' and an example to us all. To have safely executed this emergency ditching and evacuation, with the loss of no lives, is a heroic and unique aviation achievement. It deserves the immediate recognition that has today been given by the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators.

Analysis
• I think the crew of this plain have done a wonderful job in landing and evacuating
• The commander respond immediately and took a good decision in ditching
• The main mistake I have observed in this crash made by the cabin crew is “some of the passengers are not wearing life jacket and some are not wearing the life jacket properly”
