Dear friends and followers! Today´s video is another very important one about the Airbus Flight Control System, primarily the Airbus Side Stick, how does it work, what are the switches for and what to do in case one side stick fails.
We´ll be looking at the general function of the side stick in closer detail.
The two side sticks allow the pilots to control the aircraft manually in both pitch and roll. They are not linked mechanically, but simultaneous inputs by the Captain and First officer are summed. Not many people know that.
The sum is limited to the maximum deflection by a single side stick. Dual inputs will cause both green SIDE STICK PRIORITY lights to flash and a continuous aural warning,"dual input" will sound.
It is very important for both pilots to be clear about who has control of the aircraft because there is no direct feedback or artificial feel system, like in your PlayStation joystick or similar sort.
Except for a simple spring-centring device, which neutralises the side stick when it is released.
But watch the video to learn more about it.
Big thank you to TFC-Käufer for making this video possible and providing me with their huge range of various flight simulators. In the video I was sitting in a FNPT A320.
Their flight training centre in Essen/Germany is the home of many flight simulators in which I have my check-flights every 6 months.
Besides the simulator training, TFC Käufer is Germanys leading flight school, offering a range of different training courses by using their privately owned aeroplanes. Make sure to check out their website to see for further details:

Cap Joe ! The index finger button is the missile launch. I know it's an airliner but it's a missile launch
I thought it was for the chemtrail dump...
*Its used when you are escorted by F16s and you can counter attack them by that button*
It opens the tank where the waste goes
blackmambagame for El Al, probably
LMFAO!!!
You want to reassign those joystick buttons, Joe. The trigger that you have set to PTT should blatantly be the fire button... and the red one under your thumb, that's for the missiles.
EscapeMCP lol imagine an a320 with missiles xd
EscapeMCP, that's what mine does. However it won't let me take off from my bedroom, hehe ;-)
Right, though I'm not sure about a particular Boeing 747 they keep details of the countermeasures on that rather secret...
EscapeMCP nah, for me the red one is aim, and the black one is fire
red relases anti pregnancy chemtrail, trigger relases brain stimulators....
"it's a joystick"
Joe: wait that's illegal
For those Boeing enthusiasts and pilots that flew older Boeing airplanes, the Airbus side stick in manual mode is essentially the same as how control wheel steering (CWS) in those older Boeing jets worked. You put the input, released the wheel and it stayed there, and as in Aibus, the older Boeing in CWS mode, auto pitch trimmed worked. Same concept, just presented another way. Nice video.
The autopilot disconnect sound can be a great message tone for a cellphone.
Ndabezinhle Mokoena I thought so too. disabled the next day, it was too alarming :-)
Or perhaps the 'stall pull up' sound as a ringtone, but it might be kind of haunting
imagine if you forgot to put your phone on airplane mode in first class and the stall warning went off on your phone :P
Haha I can imagine the instant freaking out of passengers
Try the one on the Boeing 747 and up. That noise can wake a dead man.
Just punch the other pilot and now you're in control.
exactly what should have happened on Flight 447
LOL
Whoa! That got dark fast...

Hmm... 40 seconds seems like a very long time in an emergency situation
You have immediate priority, it's just that after 40s you can let go of the button.
It does at least prevent a "stick drift" condition from bringing the plane down though. Believe me a stick drift on an Xbox controller is very annoying

Awesome Joe! I can't wait to be a pilot - or a first officer like you! You have explained a lot about aircraft, and I praise you for that. Thanks!
One aspect that Joe didn't mention is the fly by wire. Most people assume FBW is just transmitting your movements to the control surfaces so you don't feel the forces etc.
In reality, FBW is much more complicated and *way* cooler than that.
When you pull the control stick, you aren't saying to the airplane "I want X amount of surface deflection." You're telling the flight control computer "I want to go up a bit." If you yank the stick all the way, you're saying "I WANT TO GO UP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!" The control system knows the aircraft's limits and will not exceed them. You can't stall, overspeed, overstress, or get the aircraft into an unusual attitude (upside down, extreme nose high/low). The system is completely adaptive to airspeed, altitude, and aerodynamic configuration. It's tuned to give smooth, predictable responses, no matter where you are in the flight envelope. This is how Airbus aircraft manage to be easily controllable AND have good control authority despite the very small side stick. A truly amazing piece of engineering that is often overlooked.
The side stick enables you to hold a glass of wine in the other hand. Very French.
Yokes are flown with one hard too though
Great video!
Hi I can’t believe you might see this reply
We may not be able to fly aircrafts (specially airbus) but your videos help us see how you pilots and copilots operate such complicated flying machine. Good job, capt. Joe! Keep flying!
Captain Joe, all of your presentations are fantastic! Thank you for providing them for us to enjoy.
"my aircraft". Might be the most important lines ever said
Amazing videos,my brother in law flies an A320.Now I know a little more about his job as captain! :)
Enjoying the videos so much, keep up with the great work!!
Great video as usual Joe! Looking forward to seeing more videos about the Airbus!
Can you explain the cost index please!!! Best aviation videos!!! Congratulation!
Yes please.. cost index would be awesome
iñaki fuentes agreed
This!
I believe the cost index ranges from 0-200, someone correct me if I'm wrong

So informative as always!! Thanks Captain Joe!!
Joe always a flawless explanation on any aviation topic..GReat indeed
As a right handed pilot isn't it awkward flying as captain? I don't the idea of flying an aircraft with my weak hand. Call me old fashioned but I prefer a yoke.
Zule i would too.
Zule actually captains(ie left seat) always fly with the left hand, even with a yoke. The other hand is used for throttle and other inputs. So it doesn’t matter whether you are left handed or right handed.
@@Massachamp08 That's why jet fighters have yokes... NOT!
With a yoke the captain is flying with his left hand as the right hand always stays on the throttles.
Ben Farrell jet fighters have fewer flights and fewer flight hours. Also, the political and PR consequence of a jet crash is much much less than a passenger jet crash. Information on jet fighter crashes can be restricted by means of invoking national security. Thus the pressure on making a safe, excellent fighter is less than a passenger jet.
commercial pilots are amazing.
.....in charge of the lives of so many souls,
.............and so much information to absorb.
(..if my vehicle were this complex, i would perish the first time i tried to navigate the roadways...)
Thanks so much for putting a link to your outro track. I love it! 👍😊
Thanks for explaining this for non-aviators like me!
I have no idea why this video appeared in my suggested video section two years late!
Do a video about flight speeds and speed limits
When I was using a flight sim at my HS one time a few years ago, I remember the rudder pedals and flight stick didn't have any tactile resistance to them, making it really easy to move like i'm just twisting my fist or pushing my feet out, personally resulting in me over correcting by a large margin. I was wondering if actual planes have any resistance in the rudder pedals or flight stick to prevent this.
Air France 447: First day of flight school; Instructor: your controls, Student: my controls. Some stuff in aviation is so corny, but it could possibly save you life one day.
My CFI was also a B767 and A320 captain, he preferred Airbus because the cockpit was more spacious, comfortable and came with a fold out dinner tray and foot rests.
3:57 it’s there to deal with situations like the one in Air France flight 447...
Hi Joe! What was the most scariest moment you've had as a pilot? And how regularly do you get problems each year?
Awesome job Captain Joe! I have my recurrent coming up and these videos are a good refresher. If you ever come to Florida, first round is on me! :-) Danke
Finally some info on Side Stick, Thank You
All interesting stuff, Joe but surely, THE question on side-sticks is why were they introduced at all? What is the advantage vis-a-vis the traditional central control column?
More space in the cockpit.
More space to operate computers because that is what you are doing 98% of the flight
Great video.☺️ I think I’ve seen this video before.☺️
extremely helpful to me as an amateur with no knowledge base to rely on, thanks a million !
Captain Joe you are awesome! Love your vlogs!
Capt. Joe. Can you tell us how terrain height affects your altitude during the flight? Thanks for all of your informative videos.
I'd bet it doesn't affect it at all. Indicated altitude is above sea level, and cruising altitude is much higher than any mountain
Did Air France 447 have the dual input warning?
Yes. The pilots were confused and panicking. There was no saving them in my opinion.
Well any of them could push overwrite button or use trims or do it on computer. Pilots error not problem with plane.
was there audible warning though? the CVR showed no priority right sound during the stall, and for sure David Robert thought he had control and pitching down to recover while Pierre-Cedric Bonin was pulling back the whole time.
They had multiple sound warnings about all kind of stuff.
1.) they disregarded any sound warning
2.) they also disregarded every single instrument that flashes ect.
3.) whole plane was iced also they were doing some weird things so aircraft went into "alternate law"that is kinda(in this particular flight) "there is no fck way this could happens thus instruments get totally errored"
4.) they were not using "direct control" or "mechanical control" anyway so probably computer disregarded most of inputs control from Bonin because of safety
jospi2 I had to think about that too for some reason. Apparently it did sound (like almost all of the other alarms I feel) but no one commented on it apparently so it's hard to know exactly what was going through their heads(obviously) but what we do know is that they had to deal with a lot of conflicting readings to begin with (e.g. the air speed displayed on the left primary flight display was “inconsistent” with those on the stand-by instrument system so they got an overspeed warning AS WELL as a STALL warning) In the end the computer was telling them that they were going too fast, too slow and too low all at the same time. I think no one in that cockpit believed their instruments any longer, yet for some reason the most likely scenario in the head of the (co)pilot flying was that they were over-speeding so he must've blanked out everything else until the captain re-entered the flight deck and commented on their pitch. They'd been falling out of the sky at over 10 000 feet per minute, in a nose-up attitude, for quite some time at that point. When he gave back control to his colleague on the left they'd run out of time. So I don't think it's as easy as saying "oh but none of this would've happened in a Boeing", really, do you 😟
I like all your videos. Great works!
The best way to learn. Keep doing this.
Is there a significant advantage or disadvantage between sidestick and yoke? Do you prefer one over the other?
Edit: Thanks everyone for your answers! Really interesting and it seems there's no clear answer which is better, so it comes down to personal preference and/or the type of plane you're obligated to operate.
woolver42 maybe the yoke is a bit easier to handle, because imagine you are left hand and you sit on the right, dk if it is easy to be precise with the sidestick as the yoke
It makes basically no difference. When you fly, you normally have one hand on the sidestick or joke and the other on the thrust levers. So even with a joke you will fly the plane basically with your left hand only if you sit in the left cockpit seat because the thrustlevers are on the center console.
therefore it makes the sidestick more convenient to handle and it is less in the way of the pilot :)
That makes sense shi...good explanation.
The yoke is better. You can see exactly what your partner is doing and you can take over anytime without messing with priorities. There was a plane that crashed due to a stall and one of the pilots was pushing forward to push the nose down (which is correct and would have saved them) and the other was pulling back (because he was an idiot). During the emergency, no stick shaker was active and the pilots didn't pay attention to the dual input warning. Their inputs were summed up and the elevator was at neutral. Everyone died.
Very informative video. I remember the investigation into the crash of AF 447 pointed to the airbus sidesticks as a potential cause of the tragedy, as it was only up until the last minute the captain realised the copilot had his stick back the whole time thus stalling the aircraft. I think there was a video with Captain Sully Sullenberger (Hudson River water landing) who also pointed to the side stick design being a major design flaw as boeings use the "steering wheel" type design which are mechanically linked thereby eliminating the need for these elaborate side stick priority warnings / indicators. I would have thought Airbus would have improved the design of this or modified it in such a way so that it is much MUCH more obvious to the pilots which inputs are being accepted by the aircraft.
It is obvious Just both pilots panicked and co pilot gone stupid because of that(or was used to military, ultra light planes).
If there would be stiff linkage they would simply fight with muscles And people in panic don't rly give fck about what they fell. Probably they could do that with enough force to even break their bones.
Instead of relying on your memory, please re-read the report. If any, the effect of the flight control design was minimal. Lack of (high-altitude) stall recognition and stall recovery training was much more important.
And neither of the pilots in the pilots' seats at the time of the accident was a captain.
MrScififan Sorry to disagree but Sullenberger never called it "a design flaw" - not even a CEO for Boeing would do that- he rather eloquently explained how the co-pilot's action would NOT have gone un-noticed in a "conventional type of aircraft" (meaning BOEING). I'm so sick of that Airbus-Boeing rivalry hullabaloo 😩
Thats true he never did say that, the "major design flaw" bit was my interpretation. I wasn't even aware there was any rivalry between Airbus and Boeing. Both seem like great aircraft manufacturers - but after looking into AF447 it seemed to me that the copilots incorrect input would have been noticed a lot sooner if it was much MUCH more obvious which inputs were being accepted by the aircraft. The yoke design makes it obvious, and unfortunately the side stick design, it seems, does not.
Swede Potato Pie He didn't say it because he's careful and diplomatic. But Sully clearly said the AF447 accident would've been much less likely in a Boeing aircraft. Maybe the Airbus design makes other accidents less likely. But certainly not AF447.
It's amazing how fast this youtube channel grows. Just by the fact that this video has 100k views after 15h is crazy
Very clear explanation! Well done!
2:30 Aaawwww I thought that was for the machine guns :(
Yes front one for mg's, top left for cannons and top right for bombs (at least that's what I prefer). Also while one pilot is flying the other could operate the tripple 20mm turret on the top of the aircraft.
@@eklhaft4531 An A320 with a triple turret. ROLF!
To what extent if any do you think the Air France flight 447 crash was affected by the 'unlinked' side stick v Boeing system?
Steeltrap was it Boeing or Airbus?
I'd argue none. It was due to bad CRM than anything else. Why the hell were two pilots flying? That is the question. And how/why they didn't know they were in a stall and why didn't the junior know how to recover a stall? Those are the correct questions, I'd argue. In fact, the first question is, why didn't they know that they only had to increase power due to airspeed unreliable and that was it.
Loved it Captain joe!
Great video Joe, thanks a lot, from Australia!
how left sidestick can be operated if you are righthanded?
doesnt really feel diffrent at all
it doesn't really make a difference trust me.
huh, its interesting to hear that, maybe because it is actually designed for left hand; kinda makes sense
The same way you use a mouse if you are left-handed
You learn how to.
wait
Could you explain why the landing gear is inclined or forwards or backwards on aircrafts? Why it isn't just straight and parallel to the fuselage of the plane?
Hey! excelent video mate! keep on going, you r rocking! ;)
I love your videos Captain Joe!
Boeing vs. Airbus troll inbound captain ;)
Fire in the hole!
Do you ever call your first officer, "number one?"
Carl Siemens He's Captain Joe, not Picard.
Actually in some countries out of respect for the pilots, both the Captain and First Officer are referred to as Captains, Plus the Captain is the First in Command, the First Officer is Second in Command.. they are both fully trained pilots capable of operating the aircraft
Assuming you have a 'number 2' yeah
ROFL.... XD .... and he is not bald.....
Carl Siemens yeah but what do you call yourself?
thanks for the advices.. i'll use it on my next flight
Super Videos immer! :)
"How to read SID and STAR charts” in future would be great! :D
How to get back to neutral from priority left or right?-- And by the way thanks for the video.
My *guess* is that you would have to press and release the priority button on the stick that's deactivated, based on related information that he provided.
I am no commercial or even turboprop pilot, but if I am not mistaken the control priority can be turned off by either pilot pressing the takeover push button.
What if the button malfunctions ? Is there another way to gain priority ?
You could move over to the other seat.
Greg Stark What if the priority was assigned to the captain stick, but then the stick malfunctions and you want to give the fo stick the priority, but then the button on his side malfunctions ? :)
A yolk just makes way more sense to me. To not be able to see your co-pilot's inputs on his or her joystick seems sketchy as hell to me and has already partially caused atleast one major air catastrophe.
Thats just speculation, Bonen, the co pilot of Air France 447 was highly untrained and made a number of mistakes. Currently studying up to try and get my first stage commercial pilot license. The benefits of the side stick out weigh the cons, in the off case the co pilots yoke has a malfunction the left pilot disengage feature of the air bus is far more practical, also its subtle movements could be vital in a hostage situation. Frankly I find the airbus a320 side stick to be a far superior flight stick to the boeings yolk, it also makes for a much smoother landing for me personally.

Hey Joe! I was just wondering why every jetway is connected to the left side on the plane and the planes have doors on both sides, do you have an explanation?
Afaik passengers board airplane from left side because ground handling activities (i.e refueling, baggage loading/unloading, etc) are done from the right side
Avantus I know I‘m 3 years late, but Captain Joe just made a video about that.
Thank you Captain Joe!
😘
Awesome, well articulated:)
joe can u please explain what is runway numbering??.... please??
01 would have a heading between 005 and 014.
If the heading is between 355 and 004 degrees, it would be Runway 36, not 00. It ranges from 1-36
When there are 3 runways heading the same direction, you name them L, C or R (Left, Center or Right) like in Frankfurt, Germany (EDDF).
There are some exceptions, for example:
Denver Intl (KDEN) has 4 runways heading to the same direction. Therefore 2 of the runways are named 16(Left/Right) and the opposite direction 34(L/R), while the remaining two runways are named 17(Left/Right) or 35(L/R).
The runway names always refer to the course, as if you stood at the beginning of the runway. Let's say, you takeoff from runway 6L, then you would have a heading of about 60 degrees when departing and runway 6R is on your right side.
And of course "1" runway always contains "2" actual runways, as most of the runways can be used from both directions. If there is a runway 09, there is also a runway 27.
Let me know if you have more questions
Captain! could you explain to control the nose wheel during taxiing?
It can be seen at 2:54, it's the handle to the right of the stick. It's called a "tiller" and allows up to 75 degrees of steering for low speed turns.
The rudder pedals have a very small amount of authority over the nosewheel for takeoff and landing where the tiller would be too sensitive.
Yes thank you for that information Jonah. I mean how you use it during taxi? how much degree you should turn it properly because it seems hard to handle on the ground a huge plane right.
If you're asking how hard it is to control a plane during taxi, I believe the differential brakes help steer the aircraft along with the nose wheel.
If you're asking how taxing works, essentially you throttle up slightly and use the nose wheel to steer like you would in a car.
Thank you for another excellent video.
Very interesting! I have learned quite a few things
The side-stick is there to give the pilots the impression that they are controlling the aircraft while the computers are busy flying the plane.
John Ferguson I don’t really like knowing the computer is in charge
As if the yoke didn't operate on the same principle. Pretty much every aircraft has computers flying it nowadays, regardless of method of ctrl.
mfnowacki, you know that there is this thing called a joke..
Hjortsater i've had enough of boeing supremacists
mfnowacki, O_O
What a terrible idea, these sidesticks.
The fact that the two sidesticks are not mechanically linked obviously
prevents both pilots from knowing the position of the other sidestick,
with no visual or sensory feedback, something that's believed to have
been a factor in the Air France 447 disaster. One of the pilots simply
wasn't aware of the nose-up input by the other that primarily caused the
plane to stall,, and both believed they had control of the plane,
something that would have been impossible with a control yoke system.
Nice video tutorial again, thank you very much!!!
An interesting and well explained video for me. Thank you.
How are you just sitting there blocking the runway??? LOL
That's a simulator.
...
wait, it takes 40 seconds to take side-stick priority? FOURTY? isn't that a potential hazard?
Coming from a single engine flight training environment I feel like 40 seconds to take full control in the event of a fault or silly bugger by the other pilot sounds like a lot, but I guess it's just not a concern in airlines. Interesting
Good catch mate! This is precisely the Airbus technology!
Andy Plater no 40. 3 seconds
The inputs from both sticks are summed, so you can cancel out the other stick's input by pushing yours in the other direction.
Worst case scenario is you have neutral input for 40 seconds.
I´m a bit late, but it does not take 40 seconds.
Standard mode is dual input, where the movements of each stick are normalized to an average input
Pressing and holding the priority button just for a moment will transfer full control to that stick. This can be done by either stick at any time.
The 40 second push will only additionally permanently deactivate the other stick.
Your explanation was awesome Captain Joe
Thanks Captain Joe..... that was amazing
I wonder if the pilot/copilot sit on the left side of the cockpit and he/she is right handed, would that affect his/her performance on operating flight control stick?
No, we are taught to be ambidextrous.
it doesn't effect them at all
Even with traditional yokes, right-handed pilots routinely fly (and even land) with their left hand, since the left-seat pilot will have the left hand on the control wheel and the right hand on the throttle levers. So, whether the left hand is controlling a yoke or a sidestick is irrelevant and transitioning from right-handed to left-handed flying is quite straightforward. I actually feel a slightly more cumbersome problem is the point of view difference from left to right seats, it seems to affect the perspective during landing and does need some getting used to.
You use both hands in plane. So you are expected to be perfectly ambidextrous.
Wocho Gonnado jjzjdnjjjj£j1i9iiudjj~
yoke feels like sterring of my car,sidestick is just a joy stick!
No it doesn't at all, full motion feels totally different. My reference is that I've use a 777 simulator
Fantastic explanation!
Very useful video, thank you!
dear captain joe,
Do A380 pilots get paid more than A320 pilots???
Prorigami244 i think its the same, Idk
The pilots most likely are getting paid based on their seniority, not the type of plane but since usually more experienced pilots fly the larger planes (if they choose to) then they will get more money. But some senior pilots flying an MD-88 could make more than someone flying a 777 or plane of similar sort. So seniority plays a bigger role in salary increase than the type of plane you fly.
Hallo Joe,
Da ich jetzt in wenigen Tagen mein Abitur mache und ich danach gerne Pilot werden würde, habe ich eine Frage and dich. Die Lufthansa hat ja leider seit 2015 einen Ausbildungsstop für neue Piloten, daher habe ich mich mal erkundigt, und bin auf ein interessantes Angebot der FH Aachen gestoßen. Dort wird ein Studium zur Flugbetriebstechnik mit anschließender Verkehrspilotenausbildung beworben. Das Studium würde man dann nach acht Semestern mit einem B. Eng und einer Frozen ATPL abschließen. Nun ist es ja so, dass viele Airlines ready entries erst ab einer bestimmten Anzahl an (mcc) Flugstunden einstellen. Daher meine Frage: Was denkst du, wie wären meine Chancen, so meinen Traum vom kommerziellen Fliegen verwirklichen zu können? Kennst du Airlines, die dieses Mindestmaß an Flugstunden nicht voraussetzen, bzw. wie ist es bei AirBerlin?
Vielen Dank und Liebe Grüße,
Ruben
ryanair xd
Ruben Xue will später auch Pilot werden... (mache 2018 Abi) aber nicht bei ner normalen Airline. Am liebsten wäre mir so viele Flugzeugtypen zu fliegen wie möglich :D also quasi die Type Ratings zu sammeln und einfach Abenteuer zu erleben. Ich könnte mir super vorstellen Ferry Flights zu übernehmen. Am besten wenn man dann noch selbst an den Karren rumschrauben kann. Also ne Mischung aus schrauben, fliegen, Abenteuer/Welt, und Geld verdienen.....
TheRedRacoonTRSG Vielen Dank für deine Antwort :) Und viel Erfolg mit deinen Plänen!
maiksir7 Diese Option habe ich tatsächlich schon bedacht. Ich denke als unerfahrener Pilot mit wenigen Flugstunden wäre ich dankbar für jede Stelle, die es mir ermöglicht Erfahrung und mcc Flugzeit auf größeren Maschinen zu sammeln. Später kann man ja immer noch wechseln. Umso erstaunlicher fand ich es daher, als ich erfahren habe, dass Ryanair noch strengere Vorraussetzungen für einen ready entry hat, als z.b die Lufthansa oder AirBerlin. Einzige Möglichkeit wäre daher bei Ryanair das "Cadet" Programm.
Carl Vogt Hört sich super an, der Traum vom Fliegen hat mich auch schon immer fasziniert! Ich drück dir die Daumen :)
No one can explain better than you my friend..👮captain joe..👮✈👍

I am pleased that both side sticks are connected! Now I have no problems flying an Airbus jet!
I like Airbus but I don't like the sidestick.
I think this design is inherently unsafe in a crew aircraft. One pilot can't tell what the other is doing since they are not mechanically linked. I believe this results in reduced crew awareness as to what the pilot with the flight controls is doing. There is nothing Airbus can do to correct this with software either, so they should scrap the design for all new aircraft, but they refuse to do so.
Bombardier has adopted this technology as well for their new airliner, which is disappointing.
If sidesticks are to be used they need to be active feedback for maximum safety.
They could implement active feedback, pretty sure it would be a straightforward drop-in replacement. The fact that they didn't implement it just points to the conclusion that it really isn't necessary
The military been doing this for over 20 year. All they have to do is implement control priority.
Some experts say that Air France crash flight from Brazil to France probably wouldn’t of happened if the airplane was a Boeing. The pilot with the least amount of flight time was flying an air bus a 330 I think. They had a pito freeze, disengaged the autopilot, and the pilot flying at the time literally started pulling on the side stick. The warning could be heard “Stall Stall Stall. The other 2 members of the flight crew completely oblivious to what he was doing. No dual input. When the captain finally realized what was going on, to Kate. Plane crashes killing everyone on board. Seen the program on it. Good documentary. Terrible fir those poor passengers and grieving family members.
Carl Gois it’s not because of whether it was boeing or not it was just incorrect reaction from the crew to technological difficulties. Human error. the korean aircargo flight 8509 will contradict your statement.
hey, awesome videos! Loving all this aircraft knowledge, some of the little things.
I was just playing x plane and looking at skyvector, I noticed there are no flight paths over Antarctica, I was wondering why?!
It's probably the jet streams, but maybe something else too? Would love to see a video about that.
Happy flying!
Always so very interesting, if a bit confusing at times

No
I can understand having the side stick in a position where the pilots' arms are most comfortable, but isn't the transition from right seat to left seat confusing because you're literally switching the hands you use to control the aircraft?
That being the case, why aren't steering columns (or are they also called steering wheels?) still used in fly-by-wire aircraft instead with identical button configurations?
EVA_Unit_4A I'm not a pilot, but from what I heard and read by pilots, it is an issue and is considered when a pilot makes a transition to the other seat. First they get sim training, then probably fly under supervision for some time. instructors may be authorized to fly from both seats and change them when needed (and have no problems with that at all, as such pilot wrote in his blog). btw, I see no difference if the aircraft is FBW or not regarding that question.
(have you tried changing driving seat in a car? it's a bit unusual in the beginning, but not a big problem overall)
It's not more problem than switching seats in traditional plane.
Traditional:
Captain: left hand on yoke, right on throttle
F/O: right hand on yoke, left on throttle
Side stick:
Captain: left hand on stick, right on throttle
F/O: right hand on stick, left on throttle
If you fly with AT engaged you have both hands on yoke if you got yoke.
And yokes are still in use on FBW AC. 777 and 787 have FBW and have yokes. Old Airbuses had FBW and yokes. Concorde had analog (it used analog electric signals instead of digital) FBW (with extra mechanical backup for emergencies, something modern jets miss) and had a yoke. And yep Concorde had FBW but could survive bleed out of all hydraulic systems.
"If you fly with AT engaged you have both hands on yoke"
Yes, you can do this, but you still have to know how to use the yoke with one hand. If there is an airline which teaches their pilots to fly their planes with both hands on yoke only, I would like to know in order to avoid such airline.
"Old Airbuses had FBW and yokes."
No they didn't. Only Airbus models equipped with yokes were A300 and A310 and they were not FBW. DISCLAIMER: Yes I know one A300 was used as a testbed for A320 FBW system, but even that plane used side stick to control FBW (and yoke for direct control).
All Boeing fly-by-wire aircraft (777 and 787) use tradtional control columns. But even with the control column (or yoke, or traditional centre-sticks as in some light aircraft) the pilot in the left seat uses the left hand on the stick/yoke, and the pilot in the right seat uses the right hand, because you have to operate the throttles / thrust levers with the other hand, and those are almost always on the centre pedestal.
Great video Captain Joe
Cool lookin joy stick.
