Visiting the A380 for the first time, FAA Administrator Marion Blakey
was impressed by the visibility and the entire environment of the
cockpit.

"It's an amazing aircraft," she said. "There is nothing quite like it
in terms of scope and scale and it looks to me like the customer's
experience is going to be a very good one."

Describing the aircraft as enormous, she added: "It's agile and
apparently an aircraft that a lot of pilots love to fly. It's very
clear that Airbus has designed a very safe aircraft with a lot of
maneuverability and yet for such a large aircraft, the ability to fly
within a very small envelope."
