I’m about to takeoff from Taipei in a Starlux A330-900neo, bound for Hanoi. I’ll be landing at approx 8pm AEST, which is around 5pm ICT (Hanoi’s time). I’ll be flying in beta as I want to test the new features like contrails and landing syncs.

Right on time. I don’t think I could’ve arrived any closer to 5pm local Hanoi time. The landing was a bit questionable though. -194fpm, 1.50g’s, but due to 7kts of crosswind, 8.5 metres from the centreline.
