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.

Wow! Thanks for that!

Lol

I mean, he does fly a 737 lol

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.

You're very welcome!

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

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?

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

Thank you so much! You are awesome 🤘! My next video will be about B737 PMDG. VNAV Descent....

Wow! Thanks for following me!

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?

@@CaptainSisko1972 You are right 👍

@@CaptainSisko1972 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 👍

So nice of you

Glad you enjoyed it

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!

Great. Thanks for that data, Michael.

Many thanks

My pleasure 😊

Hm...I have thought about that. Maybe just got used to it 😂

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.

😁 Thanks👍

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

Fair enough!

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.

Yes)

They are but it’s fine.

Thats reaght

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.

Don't know so far...

No. Max is a joke.

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.

Sticks were used before yokes.

😂😂🤣 ..it's for real 😳??

The can switch off the flight computers and rever to direct law. Them you can do aerobatics

Indeed

The yoke is from all boeing civillian planes not just the 738

@@breadboi1248 so what I just want to say.

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 👍.

That is my pronounce 😬👂✈️

@@PilotBlogDenys wasnt ment to be rude or something, i just found it to be funny xD

Maybe it is 😉

What a load of complete cobblers.

All of that is bullshit

@@EEEEEEE354 How do you explain the major difference in the way anglo countries and European countries approach all manner of things, from engineering to public transport to healthcare, to the law ? Anglo countries are more individualistic minded Look at the difference between Americe and Japan - you see no difference in cultural norms and how that affects society?

@@yingyang1008 you are trying to make connections that aren't there.

"Yoke is better than fly by wire." Boeing 777 & 787: Are we jokes to you?

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.

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.

👂✈

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.
