In this video, I team up with my friend Raja, an Airbus A320 pilot, to explore one of the biggest distinctions in commercial aviation: flybywire versus conventional flight controls. As the captain of a Boeing 747, I rely on conventional, direct control inputs, while Raja’s A320 operates with advanced flybywire technology, where the plane’s computers manage many of the control responses.
We’ll go beyond the basics to examine how these differences impact handling, response times, and pilot workload, and we’ll even share our personal experiences flying these two very different aircraft. If you’ve ever wondered how the control feel, design philosophy, and technology vary between Boeing and Airbus—or what pilots actually experience when flying these planes—this comparison is for you! Whether you're a flight student, aviation enthusiast, or just curious about aviation technology, this video offers insights into how different control systems shape the way we fly.
Thank you very much for your time! I hope you enjoy this video!
Wishing you all the best!
Your "Captain" Joe
