having breakfast this morning she needs to check with again to get updates on weather aircraft technical status and flight plan after she's done doing those she and the captain will conduct a briefing for the flight today so what were you doing with the captain kanina so you're reviewing the flight plan and it has the weather what to expect during the flight we're computing for the fuel and

they fly so it's a wide body jet it's an airbus a330 it's a twin engine and it's two aisles and we fly it long haul we can reach up to a maximum take-off fate of around 242 tons so it's quite a big big aircraft on the other room the man cabin crew doing their own briefing after that young bong set of true name of the beef conducting these briefings is very important for us flight throughs
