Livery
SAV House Livery — 787-9 (X-Plane)
The official Skyward Air Virtual crimson and gold livery for the FlightFactor 787-9. Contact staff or check the crew portal for the latest livery file.
The 787-9 uses an electric bleedless architecture — engine start and pressurisation procedures differ from Airbus types. Review the FlightFactor documentation before your first flight if transitioning from A320 or A350 operations.
