Will Airbus Finally switch?? Yoke of Side Stick.




Yoke ( Wheel ) or Side Stick. - Wheel man.

I flew Boeing and Airbus (mainly B747 and A380) and there are pros
and cons to each control system. But ultimately I think the pilot machine
interface is better on Boeing. It's more intuitive in many ways including
feedback on the yoke and the thrust levers. We often had a heavy crew
and the pilots sitting behind were much more in the loop being able to see
control inputs and thrust lever movement. I did like my table and crew rest
on the 380 though.

As an Airbus pilot, I really hope this actually happens. It's been the thing
I most don't like about the A320 since I started. You sometimes feel a bit
disconnected from the airplane which makes it less fun to fly. Also if this
happens we'll have even more ammunition to throw at you Boeing guys in
the airbus v Boeing banter we all engage in (most of the time it's completely
friendly and just banter. We all try to respect each other and we're all aviation
nerds so an airplane that has yokes instead of sidesticks is still going to be
cool to us Airbus guys.)

The Yoke / Wheel is best. Boeing you feel like you are actually flying the plane.

 According to a 2011 report from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), ice crystals can block the pitot probes on Airbus A330s. This can cause the airspeed indicator to give incorrect readings and reduce the operation of autoflight systems. 

When the pitot tube and drain hole become completely iced up, all pressure is trapped and the airspeed indicator freezes. This can happen whether the plane is climbing, descending, speeding up, or slowing down. 
In 2008, Air France reported problems with speed-measuring equipment on their A330 and A340 jets. In 2009, Flight AF447 of Air France went down off the coast of Brazil after frozen speedometers caused a series of computer errors. 
 
 Airbus and Air France found Not Guilty when they had years to fix this problem. 
Cost at least 228. Ruined many more family lives. 
 Flight 447 dropped like a rock 
out of the skies because of Air France and Airbus putting Money First $$$$. 
 Just last year France Courts found Airbus and AF Innocent ??  They had years 
 to fix the problems. Pitot Tubes froze over. Making Pilots think they were in a 
 stall. Computers would give out false information. Flight 447 fell from 38,000' 
feet to the Ocean in just over 4 minutes.   Airbus and Air France were to blame. 
 Ask the poor family members left behind.

Airbus Computer Nightmare.

 

The Controls DONT WORK!! Airbus Computer Nightmare



Airbus planes have many issues too.

In my 43 year design career, I have been involved with numerous
incidents/accidents involving system level failures, and that was the
most complex and interactive series I have ever heard of. Your extensive
knowledge and ability to explain it was key to this great video. I always
suspected that as we moved into more and more complexity in our aircraft
systems we would have accidents like this, but this was really mind blowing.
Thank you for this video. It really reinforces my belief that the 1 minute news
clips that we get from the main-stream media don't really tell us anything,
and are a disservice to the public. Airbus Planes have many issues too.

Plane catches FIRE over London | Airbus planes have issues also.


AirBus has many issues also.


The presence of mind required to turn the plane at the last second
to put the engine downwind from the cabin shows how immensely
focused and will trained the captain was. AirBus has many issues also.

Your keen informative style and mellow delivery has me hooked man.
You’ve inspired a lot of interest in aviation, keep up the great work!

Comedian Rob Schneider ROASTS WOKE United Airlines CEO For DEI HIRES



When the door blew off the Alaska Airlines plane two weeks ago,
I don't think any of the passengers on board were wondering about
their pilots gender or ethnicity. They were praying for the best most
competent pilot in that cockpit!

I’m a black retired Marine! Retired for over 23years. Officer Tatum I’m
with you 100% on your view. It’s pure common sense, that is not being
conveyed to the masses!

If they want diversity in pilots then they should focus on it
at the schooling level. NOT the hiring stage.

Amen
