Side Stick is used in the modern airplanes with fly by wire flight control system. As you probably know I fly B737NG and we have Yoke and control column and hydraulic boosters just to increase the pilot mechanical forse. I love flying the B737 without any fly by wire however I tried the the real Airbus Simulators of A320 and A330. I also liked the way you can fly the Airbus. You input less forses to control the airplane and it is quite easy, looks like video game. It is hard to deside what is better Yoke or Stick... But with the side stick pilots have more leg room, and tray table. I personally think that it is more comfortable...

Hello Guys! My name is Denys, and I am Boeing 737 Captain. Before I used to fly ATR 42/72.
I am making the videos on this Pilot Blog channel to encourage people all around the world to join our aviation community.
Here you'll see interesting aviation videos from pilot's perspective. Enjoy:) - Věda a technologie
Hi guys! In next video I will show you the descent on B737NG flight simulator.
Pilot Blog ... I always wondered if a flight simulator was ever used with pilots to replicate the doomed Malaysian flight that disappeared, complete with weather for that day and matching known clues on the trajectory. It could help reveal where it went and if pilot guidance was required at the end to leave the hull intact upon hitting the water (Scully did it on the Hudson river) or whether a flight on autopilot that ran out of fuel would have certainly smashed the cabin into lots of floating pieces. (I used to support as an engineer flight sims employed by Singer and then on the government side)
second thing ... as a typical passenger, I see an issue that needs to be addressed ... manufacturers and Airlines and FAA need to convince the public on virus contagion safety. This is mainly regarding testing and verifying the cabin air will be virus free, but also seats, the magazines etc. , the toilet rooms, and the airports, the luggage handling ... i.e. comprehensive look at safety from infection. Ideally, the FAA would be involved in some kind of oversight role and then funding a Public Service Announcement advertising campaign. Otherwise, passengers will hesitate flying until many other passengers have demonstrated it is safe.
@@douginorlando6260 Hi there! Thank for that unique comment. I think the investigation team had followed many of scenarios including the full flight simulatior of MH 370 B777 loss. I personnaly trust them in their job. As for your second concern, I think the way we fly is going to change. However the air inside the airplane is quite safe even now. Air system filters are capable to filter 99,95 of what is contained in the cabin air. Plus air inside the airplane changes every 2-3 minutes, so if we speakabout the public transport, I think air transport will be the most safe. What manufecturers (Boeing, Airbus and others) probably would redisign is the filter change maintanence. For now you need to ground the airplane for several hours to perform the filter change, so that hits the airline budget. We need fast filter replacement as least in new airplanes. Also the big plus is that people spend less time together flying the airplanes (usually) compared to any other transport since airplanes are the fastest transport on planet. Also I think there is going to be new screening procedures in airports for passengers similar to secrity procedures. I agree that probably in short term (1-2 years) we will see the massive drop in passengers flight. But anyway, no one knows what it is going to be... Just need to wait... But I keep positive about the future of aviation. Thanks again for your comment!
Pilot Blog ... excellent answer! Thanks for taking the time.
This is the most honest 737 vs A320 video .
Wow! Thanks for that!
Lol
I mean, he does fly a 737 lol
The main thing that pilots have said is that while the yoke gives much better feel like driving a car, having a sidestick is more practical as allows them to use the space ahead of their seats to have a meal, use a keyboard or a tablet, see the displays better and just freely move around.
A cool pair of heads in the cockpit however is far more important because those are what are ultimately flying the plane!!
Indeed!
It seems to me like that opens more opportunities to be distracted. It's like how people in manual transmission cars tend to text and drive much less.
Pilots should be flying the plane, not eating and checking their email. All a side stick does is allow for more opportunities for distraction.
Yoke is superior when it comes to actually piloting an aircraft.
@@literallyshaking8019 Okay Mr. never been in the cockpit. The eating part is because both mil and commercial a lot of the flights are long duration and pilots regardless of whether they are in a U-2, or a 737-NG (which has yokes) will eat and rehydrate if the flight is long enough to require it. Yokes just make that part messier.
As far as the tablet part? They are not checking their Email. Those tablets are used for tracking flight plans, procedure checklists, in flight diagnostics, and reference for emergency procedures. Unless you are combatives, flying is 90% repetetive checking and rechecking of procedure and making sure the autopilot is doing it's job and 10% actually controlling the aircraft physically.
Also if yoke was superior, the best performing aircraft. The reason for a mechanical center stick (which has the same benefits as yoke in connection) in sport is for cost cutting reasons only. The argument between Yoke and Side-stick is much like the argument between manual and DCT transmissions in cars. DCT is superior. It is faster, has less wear, less prone to user error due to human nature. Manual is obviously more fun to drive, but it's "connection" does not offer a benefit beyond it's negatives in weight, packaging, ergonomics and control.
Especially when you consider that the majority of control "response" has nothing to do with the yoke/stick and everything to do with your inner ear. Which is based on your head and body movement overall. To be blunt, your arse is going to tell you a lot more about what an aircraft is doing than the mechanical fight of your yoke's flight controls.
Especially in cable+hydrualic driven systems of the last yokes.
@@literallyshaking8019 What are you talking about. Thanks to side sticks, a right handed pilot can have lots of fun trying to coordination the plane with his left hand. This can be fun indeed. Plus, thanks to now having a nice roomy open area, the pilot and copilot can each relax their entire body, and drift off into a heavenly sleep. New technology, is the way to go. Like new control buttons that don't mechanically pop in and out to also physically indicate that their function is activated or deactivated. With the new method, only a light source, being on or off, would give such indications. Funny though, when this lack of data was lost due to a power failure, thus there was no light at the switch indicating its status, and this led to almost the loss of a plane load of peoples lives, they went back to the old school backup safety method that provided at least one of two indications of the switches status. Weird.
AirFrance Airbus A330 crashed in the Atlantic Ocean because the Captain was not aware of the First Officer manipulating the sidestick while the Captain was trying to gain control of the aircraft with his own sidestick. Both sidesticks should move in unison.
That was fixed long ago. If you hold the Autopilot Disconnect (the red button) for 20-30sec, it disables the other sidestick. The sidesticks cannot move on their own, you move them and hope the plane responds. but if the Captain moved his stick, the First Officer's stick won't move (that's how all Airbus aircraft work). So it's like playing FlightSim with a joystick and getting no feedback.
FBW would have save so many lives...
They also ignored the DUAL INPUT warning that tells pilots this is happening
That's why I always say, a man shouldn't take his two girl friends on a common date, otherwise disaster is guaranteed.
Can't they say "I have control" to let the other pilot know?
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing, Captain!
We were on an EasyJet A320 flight back from Copenhagen back in 2018.
My wife is disabled so we had to wait for assistance, meaning we were last off the plane.
Bless him, the captain saw us looking quite bored so he invited me to have a sit in the cockpit (captain's side).
I asked him about the sidestick being on the left hand side and his reply was "You just get used to it" 😁
That, for me screamed confidence and competence 🧐
When I quizzed him about the ergonomics of it he said he preferred the side stick because it allowed for fingertip movements.
You might want to kill me for saying this but after seeing Sully I felt more confident about flying in an A320 because the control of the aircraft looked more precise.
I suppose with these times it's not really that different to having driver aids (ESP especially) so you can't just yank the wheel, Ace Ventura style and hope for the best.
A very fine explanation, sir 👨✈️
(Edited for spelling)
very nice story. i had a similar experience like you sat on a a380 cockpit cuz the captain was my cousin and i've not seen him for a while and he let me in the cockpit and asked many question
Really appreciate your hardwork.
So interesting as always! Thank you very much!
It's fun that Boeing Captain votes for Airbus system and Airbus pilot (Sully) votes for Boeing. I saw one of his interviews, and he said that this unsynchronised side-stick system may cause misunderstanding between pilots in critical situations.
I heard that. The misunderstanding lies within the sidestick connection. They are not connected in Airbus, and it is not good. Some of the airplanes have the connected sticks and that eliminates the misunderstanding between pilots. That is why I like B737 Yoke. But somehow A320 is also safe airplane. Sidestick can provide more comfort for pilot and less efforts to fly the airplane (even a tiny thin girl can fly it). That is my personal opinion. Thanks for your comment!👍
@@PilotBlogDenys I totally agree that it is completely safe. A felt it myself a few years ago, during my flight with Turkish Airlines A330 to Boryspil, it was December and very bad weather, so the landing has been done in crosswind and low visibility conditions, but pilots've done fantastic job and we landed very smoothly.
@Airliner World Boeing 777 100% Right. That was the case.
@@olegplatonenko1550 That’s funny because Sully have been helped by the computer of the A320 during is water landing. He was pulling to much
Hey Denys!!! I really love the way you talk.
Thank you so much for the explanation. I am doing some research for my project at the uni and this video gave almost all the information I needed. :)
You're very welcome!
This is helpful. Thank you!
I’ve been in two 737-800 simulators and I loved the yoke. Now I need to get into an airbus simulator to see the difference. Great video!
I felt that A320 and A330 well controlled. I just want those sticks to be synchronized (capt and f/o sticks). On some airplanes (not airbus) they are.
Pilot Blog Makes sense. I believe that would have helped on that Air France plane that stalled over the Atlantic. The copilot was pulling back on the side stick stalling the plane. Maybe if the captain could see he was doing that it would have saved the plane. If you loose all reliable speed indicators how do you manage the aircraft?
@@Franktilson You are right 👍
@@Franktilson You have some other reliable parameters like airplane pitch and thrust settings. GPS ground speed may also be helpful but it may be not true because of the wind. We follow special checklist, it gives the proper way out. I tried it many times during my recurrent simulator training but haven't any issues with airspeed during my regular flights. Thanks for asking 👍
Fascinating video . Thank you so much .
Wow that was very insightful! Thank you
Love the content👌🏻👌🏻I’m a fan keep it up
Wow! Thanks for following me!

Thank you so much! You are awesome 🤘! My next video will be about B737 PMDG. VNAV Descent....
Really helpful, thank sir
So nice of you
Very interesting!!! Thanks captain
Glad you enjoyed it
You are a joy to watch!
Good video my dude ❤️
Thank you for answering my curiosity
great comparison!
Many thanks
5:50 yes they have redundant systems. Ailerons (and elevators) have 2 servos per control, the rudder has 3.
each system has at least 2 computers working together and talking to each other.
if the servo can't see any information from the computer, it goes to the neutral position.
Great. Thanks for that data, Michael.
Great video Captain! But allow me to quote Bruce Dickinson's words (as we know he's a Boeing man 😊) "flying with side stick like a video game"! 😊😀 He said after he tried an A320.. Thx the video sir, and stay safe! You are the best on CZcams! (unfortunately no way to click the 'like' button hundreds of times) 👍👌👋🤩😀
Thanks for the comment! I like Iron Maiden and Bruce Dickinson. Flying Heavy Metal is the nice series. He is trying to romote aviation to public. Nice guy)) You are awesome!
BTW in Boeing, does the yoke sometimes block some part your instrument display? I commonly experience it in ATR where I cant see my DME display on the lower part of the PFD.
Hm...I have thought about that. Maybe just got used to it 😂
lol when he said do not mismatch side stick with a joystick
Very helpful and easy to understand lesson. Thanks for sharing. I'm a hobbyist sim pilot and I prefer the the yoke
Yes, you can call it a joystick. A centrally located control is called a “joystick” or ”control stick” or “center stick.“
I am old so i know only the central yoke and i like it! I would like to try the side stick though!
I would not say Airbus is easy to control. My background before the Airbus was in the Dash 8 turboprops and I had a problem of over controlling the aircraft in my first simulator sessions in the A320. But the real trouble is when you have to fly raw data instrument approaches. Because the A320 in normal law is neutrally stable it would not seek the wings level position, if you leave the joystick even after say a 3 degree bank to correct for the localiser. It will keep banking at 3 degrees if you do not manually bring it wings level and the next thing you know you are deviating. That was weird for me. But with time, you get used to it.
And also, when the control laws degrade, everything becomes a bit more difficult. You need a more hands on approach, compared to a conventional aircraft, if an Airbus let us say fall to a degraded law like the alternate law, followed by direct law.
Once you gain experience in it, the aircraft is a joy to fly. I would not trade it for anything else. And also if you fly an Airbus you can fly another Airbus with a reduced training. For example, if you are rated on the A320 you can get trained to fly the A330 or A340 with just three simulator sessions and you can even fly mixed fleet (A320/A330 together).
Wow! Thanks for that comment! It really opened some insides from Airbus Pilot perspective. I had A320 and A330 full flight simulator experience and RAW data as well, I found it is easy. Thanks for your comment! Safe flights!
Hahaha a real airbus pilot calling the sidestick a “joystick” 🤣🤦🏽♂️
@@TrapKingz. Your point?
@@anasmaaz5731 point is, you sound like a fake pilot.
What do we want?
“Aerobatic passenger flights!”
When do we want them?
“Very Yes!”
Your explanation was so good ... Thanks again captain .. really appreciate it 😊
My pleasure 😊
I prefer yoke(control wheel) than side stick..............
12:18 honestly i tell you side stick 😂
speaking from a sim perspective, I've never been a huge fan of the off center control surfaces. it's probably muscle memory, but it always feels incorrect to use an off center stick.
Can u imagine ur car steering wheel (s/w) replaced by a side stick? Yes its possible, but s/w still better, why? Because the driving feel will be more close with the movement of ur car comparing if u drive a car by side stick, and now with power steering u can drive ur car even with ur fingger, thats all implemented in b787 yoke.
I like Embraer yoke
What about the left side stick for the right handed pilot? Would it make any trouble?
i take it as automatic vs manual if you get it
Yeah of course, a Joystick is always in the middle of something but a sidestick is what you find in a new Airbus.. 😂
Many 737's have crashed because of pilot error/disorientation. Computers can calculate aircraft limitations faster than the human brain, therefore saving lives.
Traditionalists don't like to hear that.
@@Vlasko60 Huh?
@@pixelapse9613 People that don't necessarily like progress, and may believe the old days and old ways were better.
737 Max 8, first lesson....Hold my beer, I will do what I want.
I guess that arms position front of your body (Boeing aircraft) it is more intuitive and I think that pilot has more the aircraft in your control.
Boeing Yoke please. I am a Sim Pilot. I just love my Boeing Zibo 737-800 on XPlane 11 it's the best overall jetliner aircraft IMO. Love 737-800.From sounds of every cockpit button to switches to CFM56 Engines to Flap sounds. I just love 737-800. Airbus is The Air Bus lol nah kidding 😂 but IMO Airbus just doesn't give me the feeling of aviator spirit!
I'm not against Airbus or Boeing but the question is: driving a car 🚗 with side stick or steering wheel. Which one will you choose???
Thanks
Thank's capitain for this very objective analysis.
I perceive all the better what you explain that I practice (modestly on X-Plane simulator), the two planes, with a yoke for the 737 or a sidestick for the 320.
I still wonder why Airbus does not synchronize its sidesticks
Yes, it would be great if they were synchronized... Thanks for your support!
It would be hard to link them directly. Only one can be used at a time I think
My favourite was "At least my plane doesn't call me a retard every time I land"
Yoke is better because the 2 yokes are mechanically linked which means that if the captain be on conscious the co pilot has the ability to take
You are the first Boeing pilot I've heard that thinks the Airbus system might be better.
Do you need muscular power to fly the atr
Yes)
Hi CPT as always very informative video...😜🤩
Just to..... the "RAT" (🐁) was implemented from Boeing on the 767 (air canada first)...and now also on the 787....
So Airbus pls don't stol...ahahaha (just kidding)🤣🤣🤣
😁 Thanks👍
For me ATR's fly-by-muscle is the best! No hydraulics, no computers. Just pure cables, your hands and your muscles. :)
Fair enough!
Are side sticks still disconnected in A350? Flying next week, and am terrified about it 😂 😭
They are but it’s fine.
Eu não sei. Mas eu tenho a impressão que o manche Seja mais intuitivo. Eu sei que tudo a gente se adapta e ganha habilidade, mas a posição dos braços levemente abertos para controlar um Airbus seja estranho. Parece que o braço levemente a frente do seu corpo para controlar o avião deixa o avião mais estável e o piloto tem mais o avião em suas mãos.
I love AIRBUS 350 more comfortable long flight SILENT ENGINE
I HATE FLYING BOEING 777 so loud Engines
Thats reaght
Boeing pilots: Yoke's are the best. Airbus pilot's. Oh no. Sidesticks are the best
I thought Boeing has ram air turbine. No one would dare to control a large aircraft with heavy wing loading just to move a slight angle in flight control surfaces on big wide aircrafts in cables only. It’s like doing pull ups and heavier than that as imagined. While smaller aircrafts powered by cable is okay but even Piper Seneca II is purely cable and manual and still it is heavy to pull your yoke because the whole stabilator will move unlike aircrafts whose elevator will move for pulling the yoke.
Disclaimer: I am not a pilot.
To me looks like difference between manual vs automatic transmission in a car. I grew up with manual transmission and love the control during spirited driver. But I do enjoy my BMW transmission over Merc. Is boeing a BMW or Merc, I don't know 😕
For those wondering about the Airbus aircrafts pulling stunts at airshows, they have performance software installed 🤣
😂😂🤣 ..it's for real 😳??
The can switch off the flight computers and rever to direct law. Them you can do aerobatics
Hi Denys(spelling?); I have read, or heard, that some pilots feel that the 737 allows for, let's say, "non-standard" emergency situations, where you might need to do something well outside of normal procedures or right at, maybe outside, the edge of the flight envelope... Of course, the pilot is supposed to use his intelligence and skill to avoid such situations ;-) , but I've seen some stories of inverted flight, or other extreme maneuvers, to get out of some mechanical failure, or.... I guess that the Sidestick provides force feedback, and stall shaker, like your airplane.
Interesting discussion... BTW, it seems strange to have the captain fly "left-handed", where right-handed people do not have as fine control?
Thx, safe landings! And, best wishes for more safe landings in 2021 !
Many thanks for your great comment. All modern airplanes of 4th generation should provide flight envelope protection. So B737 MAX for example is still 3rd generation airplane like B737 NG. From my own experience there is no difference in controlling the airplane with right or left hand...
@@PilotBlogDenys I just watched a video of a320 instructor flying 737 simulator...quite funny, in a way...he keeps saying how weird things are ;-)
Why would you want to go outside the envelope? It’s a ridiculous idea.
I think Airbus airplanes allow the pilots to manually degrade the automation from Normal Law to one of two Alternate Laws where the flight envelope protections are lost and the aircraft can then be flown in the manner you described. They can do so by manually switching off certain flight computer systems I think but I am not too sure.
On the Air France flight the First officer was so freaked out that he was holding and pulling on that stick like a whining little girl holding on her barbie-doll despite being told to release and the airplane was not 'his'...
I prefer the traditional system on the Boeing.
Sticks were used before yokes.
Hello
One question is mc21 300 b737max is better than A320NEO please reply
Don't know so far...
No. Max is a joke.
I would rather go with the yoke coz it directly linked to the hydraulic system . For the side stick the computer can give the hydraulic system wrong info and boom 💥💥
Nonsense. The connection tit he hydraulic system is nothing to do with it. 777 has a yoke but is FBW and not connected to the hydraulics.
Best one is the stick in gliders, unless you didn´t forget to connect the control linkage during assembly and the "force feedback" control surface check ;(
So preferably with automatic connections. Ahh, and the parallelogram control of DG300 is out of the game for me.
Here´s a talk with Paulo Iscold and his Nixus Project, the first fly by wire glider :o czcams.com/video/The8dN7pIuI/video.html (Fly by wire system at 41:00)
Scary thought for a Wright Brother/Otto Lilienthal fan.
I vote for the KISS-Principle = Keep it stupid simple.
Like the story of the Antonow AN-2 guiding in by russian technicians: All switches On, Antonow will fly. All switches Off, Antonow will not fly.
I travel a lot by Air , I always love flying on an Airbus built aircraft ... specially the A380, A350 are the best aircrafts in the world today. 787 series ...dream liners are nice but cabin noise is more and built quality of boeing is poor compared to the new aircrafts Airbus produces ....
I prefer a yoke
It's a joystick!
Why he rip the joystick out the airbus 😔
Honestly Yoke because it from b737-800 I love the Yoke.
The yoke is from all boeing civillian planes not just the 738

Do you have to be a Lefty to be a Captain? what about becoming a captain for a co-pilot...has to turn into lefty? By the way your uniform is Captain's, but you look very young

Comfortable to fold down the table in front and put your laptop on that and get some real work done eh?!! LOL.
Although I am a 14 year old boy who wanted to become an Airbus A320 pilot, I prefer with Boeing Yoke. Because Yoke is easy to turn the plane right or left and pull up or push down. Airbus, their side stick in the F/O's side is easy while the captain needs more practice to be a professional at using the side stick. Right hand have more power than Left Hand. But with more practice, it will be easy. Thanks for the video Captain.
You fly with left hand on Boeing also. From my experience I don't see the big difference piloting the airplane with left or right hand.
Pilot Blog Yea. But if it comes to Boeing when Takeoff and Landing, we can use both hands to pull or push the yoke.
@@CaptainJadenAR Just on take-off and manual reversion. Landing with one hand...
Pilot Blog. Oh OK. But I prefer Yoke
@@CaptainJadenAR Great choice 👍.
So that means piloting an airbus is no difference than playing a game😦
Don’t let Mentour pilot see this!

It's an interesting debate, even philosophical
Americans or Brits would never have come up with the Airbus system, only the French or Germans or Swiss would idealize this way of flying
If you look at our societies, the anglos are more into individualism, the French and Germans are more into systems
I see this debate in other areas of life - for example, the French and Germans do things like public transport and health care better, they just do
One of the reasons the UK left the EU was because their bureaucratic system just doesn't feel right, doesn't suit our culture
Most pilots surely prefer Boeing, but they aren't building planes for pilots

I made 737 views on your video so yoke is better😅😌
Maybe it is 😉
More than the Sidestick it's the cockpit and flight envelope design which makes the A320 a joy to fly. Auto Trim + Side Stick makes life so much easier.
I'd rather not lug a entire joke if I could just have a easy smooth stick
Yoke is better than fly by wire.

Can a Boeing pilot fly airbus aircraft?
Yes if he/she has also the Airbus type rating
@@PilotBlogDenys isn't flying controls will be 90-95 % same in both the air crafts except yoke steering and side joy stick.
Because basic aviation rules and fundamentals applies to both of them same only.
Just like Siberian Tiger and African Lion,
Though they are very different, but still.being carnivorous animals, thy both have very common behaviour when they find prey.
According to Murphy's law one day you'll be happy you have the manual reversion possibility. That's why I don't feel so safe in an Airbus
Both design philosophies - Airbus and Boeing - have their pros and cons. One big disadvantage for the Airbus sidestick is in fact that both are not synchronised. Meaning, one pilot could pull, and the other could push on his’, whilst the computer will take the sum of it and remain neutral. On the other hand, it is not possible to yank the plane and cause damage to it because of a protection mode in the fly-by-wire software, which is an advantage. And to be fair, with your concerns about safety on an Airbus, I would feel just as safe - or better _unsafe_ - whilst sitting in a Boeing 787 (battery problems, which are barely solved). Also, comparing the newest production lines of short value aircraft from Airbus and Boeing, I rather sit in an A320neo than in a 737MAX for obvious reasons!
Well, as for today, I feel more safe in an Airbus A320neo than in a Boeing 737MAX.
I don't trust Boeing after the Max lies and deception.
Boee Airbus has allways been farr beter than Boeing
Have a look at flightsimulator.com today.
Fun fact: Airbus was created from the company merges of Messerschmitt, Focke Wulf, Junkers and Heinkel.. some of you reading this will know these companies and therefore why I like Boeing better
I like both) Thanks for the comment 👍✈
Absolute nonsense.
@@peteconrad2077 care to elaborate?
MBB which was partly formed by these companies was a part of the formation of airbus. To claim that it was they that formed it suggests they are the major part. They’re not.

Boeing will always be superior
737 rules!
I was a big fan of airbus until I flew it on a full size 320 simulator. I was flying gliders beforehand and I was used to the traditional flight contol feeling. In the A320 simulator, I realized that the Airbus flight characteristics are more like a 5 year old videogame rather than a regular aircraft.
I say that 737s apart from the 737Max are made for technophobic people like me and although they feel and sound difficult to control compared to airbus, they are very safe as long as the pilots have good flying skills and they do, because they constantly fly this difficult airplane.
I don't trust airbus, airbus pilots and new technologies (i.e. fly by wire) and any company embracing those technologies. The fun part is that I am only 19 years old and many may say that I sound like an old man.
Stay safe from a virus with 0.02% death rate and keep away from airbus and new technologies, they are evil...
Thanks for your story and your opinion...
Ok first of all both Airbus and Boeing pilots spend about the same amount of time hand flying as each other. 737 pilots will still use autopilot for 90-95% of the flight so “constantly flying this difficult plane” is rubbish. If we didn’t embrace new technology we’d still be flying using steam gauges and no digital screens to make interpreting information much easier. On an original 737 you couldn’t see anything when flying in fog and didn’t know where the ground was. Using digital systems we can see the terrain elevation on navigation screens. Have you seen how many accident happened in the 70’s and 80’s? The idea of the FBW is so it reduces fatigue on pilots as they don’t have to “wrestle” the aircraft.
The A380 is one of the most advanced aircraft ever made and has never had an accident. Even with the QF32 incident they had multiple hydraulic and electrical failures but could still keep flying. If you don’t want to embrace new technologies you may as well be an old person because you don’t understand it. I fully understand how this system and it’s redundancy works and there has NEVER been a time when the airbus’s FBW just shut off and the pilots cannot control the aircraft. How are you typing this comment and watching this video of you don’t like technology?
Any virus that has a higher than 0% death rate means anyone...even you..could die from it. Do you feel lucky?
