This brand spanking new Airbus 340-600,
one of the largest passenger airplane ever built,
sits just outside it’s hangar in Toulouse, France,
without a single hour of airtime on the clock….

(ADAT) to conduct pre-delivery tests on the ground, such as
engine run-ups prior to delivery to Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi.

The ADAT crew taxied the A340-600 to the run-up area.

Then they took all Four engines to takeoff power
with a virtually empty aircraft.
Not having Read the run-up manuals,
they had no clue just how light an empty A340-600 really is.

The take-off warning horn was blaring away in the cockpit
because they had All 4 engines at full power.
The aircraft computers thought they were trying to take off,
but it had not been configured properly (flaps/slats, etc.)

Then one of the ADAT crew decided to pull the circuit
breaker on the Ground Proximity Sensor to silence the alarm.

This fools the aircraft into thinking it is in the air

Intended for use by the elderly and disabled, the single-shot 9-mm weapon looks like a giant bean grasped in the palm of the hand…

The barrel points out between the user’s fingers. You “pull” the trigger by pressing on a thumbed button at the top.

“Point and shoot couldn’t be easier,” states the blurb on the product’s Web site.
