Accident Summary

Presumably the 9 July crash in Siberia is not included in the hull losses and fatalities figure. VoxLuna 19:27, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Photo bias

There's too many "pretty" profile photos. Article needs less of them and more interior cabin or flight deck shots, and perhaps a closeup or two of an interesting feature of the aircraft. -Rolypolyman (talk) 11:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you have any suitable non pretty images then you are welcome to add them. The only reason none are present is that they are none available in WikipediaCommons to use and we are reliant on users to upload suitable images to Commons so they can be added.

Correctamundo... that's why I'm putting the call out, so to speak. -Rolypolyman (talk) 15:31, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

History

This is not a history, it doesn't give any details of the type's development, launch, production, etc. - these ARE interesting details, and the German version, for instance, does provide them.78.48.132.194 (talk) 15:36, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is a work in progress and is never complete, you are welcome to add any properly sourced and notable information to the article. Thank you. MilborneOne (talk) 17:30, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Size of shrink

It's a bit murky to say that the plane is 12 frames shorter than the A300B series. To produce the A310, Airbus pulled 14 frames out the A300B4, then relocated the rear bulkhead further aft in order to make more space within the cabin. The cabin may be the equivalent of 12 frame pitches shorter, but the plane is shorter by 14 frames overall. Sacxpert (talk) 08:29, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
