Side stick view on the A320

Taxi and takeoff looking up from the side stick.
A bit of a crosswind on this takeoff, hence the major side stick movement on the rotation and climb out.
Hope you enjoy it.

Hey Richie, nice video. Do you feel you have more or less control using a side stick versus a yoke? View at the end was really nice 😊

Thx Brit. I don’t feel as though I have any more or less control either way. It’s just a different feel.

@@RichardCunningham65 ok cool. All of my flying is with a yoke but it was, as you say a different and interesting feel flying with a side stick. Got a lil touch off an SR22. Just wondered how it was on a bigger airplane.

Richard wha gwaan big boss? Are you trained to fly different planes or it's a situation where if you fly one you can fly all? Thanks for the videos bredren.

Hi Jason. Every aircraft type requires training, particularly when a type relating is required. A even though the Airbus families are very similar, I had to be trained and checked on all the types I have flown, i.e. A320, A330 & A340. Same goes for the Boeing aircrafts. I was trained on the B767, but if I was to get a job flying a B777, for example, I would need training for that as well.

Thanks Richard keep sending the videos. I maybe too old now to get my pilot's license 😊.

Unless you have an ailment that stops you from getting a medical certificate, it doesn’t matter how old you are. I learned to fly at 36. Many have learned even later in life. Age is just a number.
