- www.balticaa.com Baltic Aviation Academy at its Vilnius premises operates both of these types full flight simulators and decided to take an advantage of it by making video report. Pranas Drulis, ATPL integrated student and Assistant Training Manager, who already has the excellent skills of operating B737 and A320, has agreed to show and explain control devices, cockpit, engine failure controlling, comfort differences.

Boeing fanboys: Boeing always lets the pilot have the last say.
Boeing 737 MAX: *Hold my beer*
To be fair, pilots can disable and override MCAS. The pilots on ET302 did this, but way too late.
Oh yes the 737 MAX cockpit with larger screen is cool and probably better than A320neo in looks
Annoying guy on internet it’s also slightly more efficient than the NEO
@@waterdrinkingexpert6797 about that i believe A320neo have better engine bypass ratio
Annoying guy on internet it might have a higher bypass ratio, but the fuel burn and cost per seat is less in the MAX. Although the difference between the MAX and NEO are within 5% of each other, extremely close.
I can't believe the numbers of people that say "Not fair, 737 classic vs a320, it should be 737NG"
Well then, let's look at the introduction date.
737 classic introduction date = November 28, 1984
A320 introduction date = 18 April 1988
Airbus is only 4 years ahead, but if we compare the 737NG to the a320
737NG introduction date = February 9, 1997
See the huge gap? The NG is nearly 9 years ahead the A320.
A320 is fly-by-wire and is more technologically advanced in some aspects and more pilot comfort minded also
I am a airbus fan , but I agree with you, they should have used the 737 NG
pantanakarn somboon yeah, the 737 classic is no match for the s320, they should do a 737ng vs a320 but still great vid
Bro airbus is better then boieng in technology and pilot comfort.........have you seen the checklist on airbus is more easier and on emergency it works more better because they have to do so fast... And another and airbus is made pilot comfort on mind...
pantanakarn somboon Yes you are correct about the dates. However the 737-300,400,500 you see here is an adaption of the original 737 from 1969. The reason for the slight changes are due to ratings and regulations that would have to of been met, classing the aircraft as completely new, resulting in higher costs. Think of the A320 as a brand new aircraft, whereas the 737-3/4/5 are an 'updated variant'.
Pranas is always the best teacher! His fluent English is a fantastic way to understand deeply matters that are generally very complicated. Thanks a lot!
I'm slowly going my love towards the entire Airbus fleet..... but I still love Boeing because of looks..... I love Airbus because of modern technology
Hey... It's still a 35 year old aeroplane... Just because of the computers, it's just giving us a software update... Like our mobile phones... 😂😂
The E170/190 is way more modern than either of these 😂
A320 looks so chill , no control column means a lot more comfort and freedom for pilots i think.. also cockpit layout looks more modernized. However i always preferred the looks of the 737
Yea the windows look so slick at the front
I love everything about the Airbus cockpit better than the boing cockpit besides the yoke…I hate joysticks
They have an old 737 simulator
I just love Airbus, most beautiful cockpit !
737 looks like a students project compared to the a320 lol
really? I didn't think so. I like the comfort things added to the airbus but other than that I would prefer the boeing flight deck actually myself.
@@BenJaminLongTime why ??
@@vishalgiraddi5357 they want a challenge
This an old 737 cockpit, current 737 cockpit doesn't look like this lol, especially the NG and MAX.
@@youarereadingmyname Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Sidestick.... Not joystick, LOL
It's a joystick that's to your side, basically.
jimmywan87 thats BAA for you
Jonas Helmke No. It's a control stick to your side. The technical term is Sidestick
Lady Gaga here. I call it Discostick.
jimmywan87 I
Ok, really though... These walking transitions are really annoying
Why doesn't he just sit and explain them all at once...for example just go over the airbus completely and then go over the boeing completely.
Exactly my point... Ugh
I find these videos' lack of self awareness to be strangely compelling.
that school just want to show their simulators and instaltions ;)
+Kevin Klika The walking transitions are obviously part of the charm of this video which is, at least, partly intended to be entertaining and cute. The cockpit differences are very interesting... but Pranas is "trying to help you decide which plane to buy"... as if you are about to purchase either an A320 or a B737. :-) Get it now?
I got to say the Airbus has a lot of avantages but i like a yoke more than a joystick
SideStick*
That's a lot of hard work to underline each difference distinctively.. Hats off to that🙌
I find these video's fascinating. As an aviation lover, I love looking at all these videos. They're so thorough and I love it.
Pranas, well done! this is a really really entertaining documentary, for I'm not a pilot (I'm too old to become one at 57!!!) but sooo much interested in flying, your video is a very good one, no an "academic" one but entertaining one, much more explaining at a easy -and funny- way the differences between Boing and Airbus .... For me, all speaks for Airbus !!! - Signed: a french aeronautic fan ;-)
"simulators" not like those in video... more like the Microsoft flight simulator x
737 cockpit has this Soviet-Tank cockpit flair. What were they thinking? 4 years before the A320 was built didn't pilots eat...or breath?
Did the soviet Russians eat or breath when they took back the mother land...no they didn't. They just killed, fucked, and drank.
The 737 has a full yoke for better situational awareness-something that would have prevented AF447.
The 737 has the same dimensions as it did in the 1960s, compare an a320 to a 747-400, for example, which came out around the same time, and you’ll see that the cockpits have similar amounts of room
@@Bartonovich52 MCAS would have crashed it minutes after it left the Airport.
Thanks for sharing, I've always been a big fan of Airbus!
Modern commercial aviation means: Transport people and cargo from point A to point B, including safety and efficiency, nobody actually cares about showing pilot skills in 737 or not showing them in A320...both of them can suffer a lot of diferent failures that can lead to emergency situations, but still both of them are most popular aircrafts in civil aviation, if something happens, in 737 restoring the safe flight is hard to achieve, and in A320 is hard to manage. As long both of them are safe and efficient, they will stay where they belong, in sky.
Beautifully said.
Dennis Barber I mean, the a320 has anti-stall features but okay
I cease about the pilot skills he is showing
A very deep analysis.
It's a side stick!!! Joysticks are for video games and fsx.
I like the side stick, but isn't it basically the same thing as a joystick?
+Julio Romeresto No it's definitely not. Considering Mariah and Bee's comparision, on your computer joystick you give analog movements to your computer and it is transfered into your games' movements (e.g. on flight simulators). The side stick on an airbus also reads out values but the pilot tells the aircraft, that he want it to bank left with a bank rate of let's say 3 degrees per second by moving it a certain ways to the left. centering the stick te pilot tells the aircraft to hold that position, what ever will happen and the aircraft manages its elevators, ailerons and rudder to hold that banking. same with the elevator. Also the yoke on boeings, that actually work like a joystick would theoretically allow the boeing pilot to fly loopings... you would never get an airbus into that maneuver. It just won't do it.
And for a conclusion: the word "joystick" has no place on a professional flight deck :P
+Carmen Seeger both are an analog stick that give inputs to a computer. The difference in functionality lies in the computer programming itself. I think that the side stick might be built better than a lot of joysticks though.
+Carmen Seeger The joystick looks more comfortable and Boeing does not design their planes for pilot comfort. That us the reason why I hate boeing
but boeing is not all eletronics. for all Boeing aircrafts, the pilots must still have full control of the plane
3:27 never call the flight controller on the airbus a joystick. It's called a sidestick.
Who gives a shit. That's what it is
@@DamnYouRabbit
Flies give a shit..
They just love shit.
You can tell by the bug shut eatin' grin.
@@DamnYouRabbit That's NOT what it is. That's why we give a shit.
@@Ge0Mancer7 haha I'm going to call it a joystick now just because of this comment 😂 🤣
@@DamnYouRabbit That doesn't make any sense
You probably get more exercise this way than by flying!!! Good one and useful, thanks I subscribed!
Hi rhstockwell,
Did you manage to find out the song playing in the background?
Wirklich sehr interessant. Sehr gut gemacht.
I spend my entire life in seeing that boi going from one sim to the other 🤔🤔🤔
Nice tour! Thanks!
Hello from Canada, Pranas:
I am not a pilot and never will be, but technology is & was "my bag " in another way.
I am a 72 year old retired electronic technician with a lot of industrial process background, primarily at the more detailed level of debugging (>) electronic instrumentation and analyzers.
I also have electrical qualifications, but no university degree, although sometimes I am called "The engineer without the degree.")
I have seen a number of your videos from time to time. Well done!
Some North americans might have a bit of difficulty with your parlance, as your parlence comes from your actual first language (I am thinking Russian since you are doing this from Vilnius, although I see you as more like the Russians from the Baltic states than from the rest of Russia - more interpersonal and a bit less bluntly militaristic - notably less harsh.)
( I have a friend who married a Russian from Vilnius, but both of them and the step son are now in either the U.S. or Mexico, and he is retired also.)
In the video it is hard to tell just how tall you stand (thinking of the Airbus comfort) but in Feet I am thinking maybe around 6 feet (a shade less than 2M). Personally, I stand 5' 10", but younger people here of both sexes are apt to be notably taller. (I remember a young lady who was about 6'6" tall, but not abnormally proportioned for her size.)
You might quip Airbus for me that a pilot would ot earn so many ""beans" if he got "beaned" on the ceiling of a Boeing cockpit, while a pilot coming out of ab anrbus might be better "beaned" with a good cup of coffee in the airport! (guffaw!)
2:42 Analog, physical switches does not mean it is bad, those early days pilots can fly airplanes with those old school instruments safely and know each and every switch's position. It's similar to driving a manual transmission car, they are always fun and real.
oh yeah fun is what one is looking for when hundreds of lives depend on you right?
@@realhumphreyappleby Looks like "FUN" is the only thing you are trying to pick fault with. Having fun DOES NOT equal unsafety. If you cannot tell the difference, I feel sorry for you, "Sir" ?
@@realhumphreyapplebyyou completely missed the point 🤦
So I want to learn how to pilot in a Boeing but want to work the rest of my life in an Airbus.
I love Americans every time they feel attacked or somehting feels better than what they did:
Iphones: "OMG is the best company cause everything is latest technology an automatic, nothing feels old or analogic!!!!111oneone"
Airbus: "OMG That plane is such crap!! Everyhting is more advanced, nothing is analogic, what happens if all your systems shutt off, you have a hydraulic failiure AND the aliens attack you at the same time¿?¿?!!! You won't be able to recover it manually!!!"
I ain't an American but I will tell you the reason why I prefer Boeing
1. The cockpit
Boeing cockpits are very easy to understand because it clearly shows what the aircraft is doing
For example, the throttle, speed brakes/spoilers etc.
2. Aircraft designs/look
I think people choose iPhone to just show off or something, I am an Android user because
1. It's cheap
2. Pretty advanced
@@sideyoke1476I agree
Literally no American has said that
Thank you Pranas,wonderful video where are u now.Your teaching is very nice
really enjoyed this, i have no aspirations to become a pilot but found it fascinating ,thank you
No plane is better than another.
Each one has its tricks and way make a safe flight.
I began my career as pilot in 1998 as flight oficer in a Boaeing 717, after several hours of flight you knew what to do even a in a smaller cockpit than the 737.
Began my trining in A320/A321 two years later: a completely different way of flying, FBW in a commercial aircaraft.
Then the A340-300, then the A340-600...
Continue training and... never say an Airbus has a "joystick" instead of a "flight control stick"!!!
Is the term "sidestick" OK then ?
Airbus is more advanced and comfortable for a pilot.....than the Boeing....
So I'll prefer to airbus.
If you like flying at 35K feet in a plane that is 80% plastic the Euro toy is for you!
@@kendallevans4079 hmmm right
@@healthylife8991 Looking at your name it's not a surprise you prefer the plastic plane..
@@kendallevans4079
Thanks for the complement ..
Stay blessed and stay happy. May God fulfill ur all wishes...
@@healthylife8991 I respect how you handled that
Thank you Pranas
Great Voice and explanation!
Great video! I recommend to compare cockpits of An2 and A380 in the next one.
225?
Would really like to see a 737NG comparison. Never really seen much of the A320 cockpit so was impressed!
A little correction, is a 737 classic the NG is more modern haha.
@@gabrielvillar966 I think this is also an older A320 because it has that old IRS allignment panel
@@greenesyt563oh yea the CRT PFD and ND instead of LCD
Very clear differentiation pranas 👍
I stand corrected. At first glance, I thought this was a new A320 cockpit. I enjoy being corrected, when I realise I'm wrong, I find it rather refreshing. It's great. Thanks. :)
Screw BOTH Airbus and Boeing. I WANT MY MD-80 BACK!!!!!
me too
but boeing made it
*****
Except that McDonnell-Douglas made the MD-80.
I like the MD-80 better than the 737 myself. I think the DC9 platform was much better and much more reliable.
Anthony DeBacker if you want to die...
nice video. goes straight to my favorits!
I know why I would prefer Airbus. It's simply better thought trough. Even compared to the new 737's
Very nice video, simply and objective!
Very cool and informative video. Thanks!
About all the comments saying the the A320 only came 4 years after the 737 classic. Yes that is true but in the era we live right now where the 737NG is the A320's main competitor, that would be the more sensible comparison. This video would make complete sense if this was 1988 and they're trying to promote the advances of the A320 cockpit compared to the 737 at that time. I just think this is a bit of an unfair comparison in today's time.
It just goes to show how outdated the 737 classic was right from the start.
But the a320 is Still better than a 737NG
let's say we are going to compare the 737ng to the a320neo then !!!
+femipieds paluches But the A320neo competes with the 737 MAX.
yeah, but this is not 737 max
Excellent video, a true testament to how ahead of it's time the A320 was when it was first designed. Looking back at the dates of entry into service the comparison is very sensible.
We can't compare the 737 Classic to the A320 because it has a similar cockpit to the 737 Original from the 60s. Boeing only upgraded the fuselage, engines, wings, etc. This was done by Boeing to reduce training costs. If you look at other Boeing planes older than the 737 Classic, like the 757 and the 767, they had glass digital displays with EICAS like the A320.
This video of yours is brilliant! I'm not a pilot but from what I see the A320 is more modern while the 737 is more old school.
Hi, what is the book called on the Airbus? Thanks.
He must have had a good workout!!..
I love airbus A320 ! It's the best plane ever !

Thank you very much! Greetings from MMMX
I did enjoy the video. Thank you.
I used to be more of a 737 fan, I changed my mind after watching this
Joseph Mascolino may favorite old plane is the Boeing 747 because it’s big

I would have LOVED to attend BAA, but don't have the money. Sad face. They seem like an awesome aviation institution!
Pranas you legend!
I don't know why but the walking was really cracking me up! Nice video anyway, thank you. Although on the airbus, it's a side-stick not a joystick. :)
Air bus for definitely. Much convenient , reliable , safer , robust and fuel efficient.
Exactly. Well said
The 737 is 99.7% reliable which is much more than the a320 so that's false tho. Boeing planes are mostly made up of a new material which is more robust (but idk what you mean by that they both are) and both manufacteuers are fuel efficent. Im not a fanboy just bringing facts tho ;)
1:51 Voice crack
Hahahah
How many miles did you walk back and forth Pranas?
the boeing 737 NG also has an autotrim feature, you can select it at the autopilot section.
Airbus Cockpit Seems much spacier and comfortable
So! I see Airbus 320 is more comfortable than Boeing 737.
Hi,
What's the name of the song playing in the background?
Thanks
Nicely explained. well done 👏👏👏
take note they show you a 737 300/400 the newer 737 ,700,800,900 have a all glass cocpit
Ok,they have only glass cockpit but they can't defeat airbus from any side!
Love how he runs between cockpits lol. On a serious note good job . My type is going to be on either of the types soon.
Thanks brother, keep going make good video for pilot
Can you stand up straight if you open the sunroof?
Not at all boeing 737 classic is analog, but the boeing 737 NG has more electronics instruments
But airbus has more comfort and bigger
@@kreselletoursabello8033 is comfort everything?
Than what? Is 737NG everything??
Comfort help a lot for pilots. You wouldn't want an exhausted uncomfortable pilot flying your plane.
7:46 That's what clipboards are for...
Not quite a suitable angle
It’s for reference charts only
keep up the nice work....in the A320 the auto thrust will only be operative from the ideal until the CLM position and the from ideal until the MCT in an engine out. and its a side stick 😊😊
Interesting comparison! Do the later B737s have a "Glass Cockpit"?
I vote airbus due to its comfortability, reliability and very easy to learn controls.
3:30 the red switch is used to release chem trails, since he didn't tell you.
this is autopilot not chemtrails....
Giovanni Di Cello Plus Chemtrails don't really exist. Planes can dump chemicals but no airline or military allows it
Its an auto pilot disconnect button watch it on captain joe
captain joe all the way. also its the autopilot disconnect please dont let me ever get on a plane with you at the controls
everyone who replied to this comment gets a r/wooosh
Cheers.... awesome work
which one do u like more Pranas
UAUH!How many kg you missed going to the Airbus from Boeing
Airbus Pilot : Let's just sleep while the computer is flying the plane!
Boeing Pilot : This very experiencing! You can control the plane manually showing your skills flying a plane!
Bro it's not like they do everything manually this saying was relevant 20 years ago but now with the dreamliner and 777 it's is even more easy to fly than airbus
yeah, like what? doing barrel rolls with a 737?
Boot
Don't try to defend Boeing from these we all know what is airbus's reputation and what is the reputation of 737 I know Boeing is great but not it's every plane is better than airbus.
@KENNETH NDIRANGU B737 MAX so......still think the same now? Pitch stability augmentation system killed 157 + 189
very well presented !
Well It,s awesome explanation man... Nice one..
I"m now a professional cat walker :)
Great video from Baltic, thank you Pranas!
Still wont ever get me on an Airbus though. 737NG is the only option.
Fricc you boeing fan
@@dappingforever7720 yeah, you’re just a Boeing hater as seen from your previous comments in this video
Another Boeing fan 🤦♂️
pranas? what do you need of school to become an airliner pilot?
What is the background music?
Boeing 737 classic? what kind of compairison is this old vs new? whats next Floppy drives vs thumb drives??
both aircraft came out around the same time
737 (1967) A320 (1987) in plane years that a long time. but beside the cockpits..they both are great aircraft.
Lee Kenney The JURASSIC came out in 67 on the classic the classics first flight was in 84
737 classic first flew in 84
Lee Kenney don't know anything about aviation....
He is so funny
Well done in the 'verses' difference of pilot usage/experience of an Airbus & Boeing awareness study. I've always liked your approach. Many aircraft manufactures have varying approaches to usage, experience, safety, information and ergonomics. Deep comfort and understanding of any system comes with unmatched experience. Bringing the best minds into the business, will only increase the awareness. Overall, an interesting approach into both and we can learn from each other, but perhaps learning from a greater pool of "end users" is the best solution. Why does an aircraft have to be so perplexing?
Give my man props for walking to each simulator to show differences
I have -1 power in left eye and -1.25 in right will there be problems for me becoming a commercial pilot? And also if I do LASIK treatment?

Pranas, on the Boeing CL series the screens are called EFIS, and EHSI not PFD and ND,,
PFD must have the altitude and the HDG and the IVSI with the Airspeed to be called Primary Flight Display.
Anyone know the title of the trance song? (I know it's very short)
"You can just watch the switch to see if its in wrong position." But what if the light is broken?
That's exactly what I thought. I guess they are led, or maybe each switch/button has redundant bulbs, or maybe the aircraft maintenance procedures mandate that the bulbs be changed before they reach the end of their lifespan. But all of this are guesses of mine, I really have no idea.
@@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFor There's a button you click that illuminates every light in the cockpit, and checking that they all work is part of one of the checklists you do before you fly. Unless you are **very** unlucky, you'll never unknowingly be flying with a dead one.

older boeing, wheres the 737-800
I know right, it is unfair to compare a A320 with a 737CL. Obviously Airbus wins because the CL is older than the A320
+Ifly 777 737cl was released 4 years before the a320, so this is a very fair comparison you moron
thats true. The only change from the b737 classic to a b737 ng is that there are now displays thats like the only big change so the video still makes sense.
Ifly... You didn't have to call me a moron. I'm now noticing this comment, but this is why problems always start on CZcams
L3genGaming ur a really shitty pilot of you didnt realize that its a fair comparison
instant LIKE for this guy, MOVING cabin to cabin to show how they work properly
Very nice video thanks!
Couldn't you choose an older 737?......
Nah - The 737CL first flight was in 1967, while the '320 was in '87.
I stand corrected, sorry.
''Still is''
Not really.
there is only one order for the a380. While the 787 is going out like fresh baked cookies.
So I'd say boeing is now ahead.
First of all, there is more than one order. But also, while they are both long range aircraft, they are built for very different purposes.
Right now after the battery fires in 787 there's more A350 orders than for 787
now i know why a320 has such a good safety record and why it is the best selling airline. no wonder b737 has had so many accidents
Do we get to choose which aircraft we want to fly when we become a pilot?
gj on the engin fire on the boeing, except that u didnt extinguish it, and why do u thing we wanna se u move between the simulators??
Boeing 737 all the way!
Thank you!! Finally someone who likes a classic jet!!
+Critter1 the only 737 I consider a classic jet is the original 737s with the JT8D engines and the state of the art cockpit and other technology for its time. All the rest have been playing catchup (sales have been rather close though until the neo/max battle) which shows that the design does not belong in the Renton plant, but in a museum. Real classic jets are planes like the 707, 727, 747, and 757 as they will be loved by many for good reasons for years to come and the latter of which should still be in production.
+Take Flight The 737 ng seat belt signs look very old and boeing is too lazy to make the smoking sign light up.The 737 I took was on Qantas
+caden phua I hope you know that Quantas' 737's are REALLY old and will be retired soon. Boeing is not lazy, its just the wear of the plane.
Actually Qantas operates the 737-800 and no other type. The 737-800 is apart of the 737 Next Generation and was made in 1992. Qantas's 738's average 9.7 years which is young for most aircraft compared to their 747-400 Fleet which averages 17.1 Years. Qantas shows no sign of retiring their 738s.
I'd prefer Airbus.
You don't say, AirBusFreak757, you don't say...
Was a parachute the bag beside the Boeing sim ? 😁
Fantastic !
