737 vs A320: After Flying Both, One Clear Winner

Video Description

After Flying both for a while, there's a clear winner. The Might Boeing (737) vs the more technologically advanced Airbus (A320). The Yoke vs the Stick, the Protections vs leaving it in the Pilots hands, the Automation etc, the list goes on. Both of these airplanes offer very different philosophies when it comes the Plane / Pilot relationship. After flying the A319,A320 & A321 for the last 10+ years I recently transitioned to the Boeing 737, (700, 800, 900, Max8 & Max9). I was surprised at what I didn't miss in the Airbus (Tray Table) and even more surprised at what I did miss )THE ROOM!!). Both Airplanes have very similar Modes when it comes to climbing, descending, lateral navigation and energy managed but there are some significant differences when it comes to limiting what the Pilot can and can't do. I dive in and talk about what it's like to fly each airplane and the Pros and cons of Both. ---DISCLAIMER---- this is not an Instructional Video, this is just a light conversation on the very basic functions of these airplanes and in no Way Shape or FORM are related to any Policy or Procedure at any Specific Airline 0:00 Intro (the smell coming from the LAV!) 2:06 The Cockpit Space 5:35 That Damn BLEED PANEL! 7:26 A320 Start Sequence 8:07 B737 Start Sequence 11:00 VNAV (Vertical Navigation) 12:40 AutoThrust vs Auto Throttle 18:42 ALPHA FLOOR (A320) 20:05 (VLS) Lowest Selectable Speed (A320) 20:58 ALPHA MAX (A320) 23:45 ECAM 25:31 Hand Flying Each 29:10 Landing the 737 30:01 The BRAKES 31:02 Ground Speed MINI (GS Mini) 34:00 The VERDICT!!
