The Airbus A318 is the smallest member of the Airbus A320 family. The A318 carries up to 132 passengers and has a maximum range of 3,100 nmi (5,700 km; 3,600 mi). The aircraft entered service in July 2003 with Frontier Airlines, and shares a common type rating with all other Airbus A320 family variants, allowing existing A320 family pilots to fly the aircraft without the need for further training. It is the largest commercial aircraft certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency for steep approach operations, allowing flights at airports such as London City Airport. Relative to other Airbus A320 family variants, the A318 has sold in only small numbers with total orders for only 81 aircraft placed as of 31 December 2012.
This aircraft is fun to fly, and but only comes with 1 livery (Not counting the default one). More liveries are possible to acquire though. It has a 2d and 3d cockpit, with the passenger cabin also rendered, which is a nice touch. Using reverse thrust and arming speed brakes is possible.
