Michelle - why on landing are you moving the controls so much yet looking beyond you in the background, the flight appears rock steady? As a passenger, I've often wondered that when later looking at videos. My flights are generally smooth yet pilots are working the controls in extreme movements.

You have to make more movements on the yoke, versus let’s say driving a car, because when you’re landing you’re not only moving the plane side to side, but also up and down. That means one has to make way more movements.

Yeah, I am an avid flight simmer and aviation enthusiast, and I've heard that scuttlebutt from pilots for years. How ultimately the Boeing will cede command and control to the pilot, whilst the Airbus will not, even as it flies you and it into a mountain. Then, like a nagging fishwife, will beep "See, I told you I was right! That hill just shouldn't have been there!". But then, even with the plane being the boss, most pilots are very comfortable with it.

Airbus A/P uses autothrust instead of autothrottle. In an Airbus; the thrustlever hardly moves during the flight: the pilot uses the lever to select the desired thrust-mode (TO/GA, FLEX, CLB or A/THR) and the engines automatically provide the thrust needed. Also, in an Airbus green means active and blue means armed. Furthermore; Airbus does not have seperate switches voor LNAV and VNAV, it is basically NAV, HDG, LOC/GS-mode. Also, instead of pressing seperate buttons you use the switch knobs to activate or de-activate parts of the A/P. Pressing will engage A/P, pulling will give controll back to the pilot flying. Some differences with Airbus I know, correct me if I'm wrong :). Great video!

Preachin to the choir here partner. I love a nice, long uneventful, boring flight, real or sim, but especially real. An almost perfect Sunday afternoon is a perfect takeoff, listening for a few hours to the hone and whine of the engines, while ATC chatters away. Then a nice smooth ILS or visual landing. All while I catch up book work or putter around in my shop. If you haven't already, I must urge you to get a yoke, and dump the joystick. I just got my first yoke (the Honeycomb) and it is sweeeet. But it's a whole new ballgame because I have to relearn everything after years of flying sims with a joystick. Then I have the "new" FSX, another looloo, where they have stepped up the automation and realism of the aircraft I fly, (777), and gotta relearn that too. Now I am back at Meigs in Chicago, flying Cessna's till I get the hang of these things. Have fun and enjoy!

Hello, coming from the flight sim world, I went from a FS9 777 (older version) to a FSX 777 (newer version) and the autopilot is very different from one to the other. I am certain the FSX AP is much more in line with what is really going on, because after watching your video (Which I hope to watch many more times) you learn/understand the AP is a mixture/integration of several different systems, and this corresponds to what is going on with the new version vs the older one. On the previous FS9, the AP was very simple; basically you could set speed, altitude, course, flight plan, through a Garmin APP, or otherwise. That was pretty much it. On the new version, there seems to be much more to do - and that is done. I won't go into everything, because it will take me years to figure it out - if ever -, but for example; I am used to setting and adjusting my own speed when descending to land, like starting from 35,000. Then it was simple to just manually lock on to the ILS and localizer signals via an "APP" button when you got in "range" of the ILS feather. But on the new (FSX) version, the speed is adjusted for you, as you descend, and it seems to glide right down to the localizer, automatically, given the settings are right from the start. Still, as much fun as it is, the automation sometimes actually seems to get in the way, but I am sure it's more like I get in it's way even more. It's a lot of fun though, and very educational, and your video really help to tie it together - sort of. But I have to watch it many more times. Keep your videos coming they are a joy to watch. Cheers!

Thanks for the overview. In my view, the pilots are still flying the plane even though AP is on. But to say that still requires an understanding of flight control and the variation of circumstances that arise while in the air. I'm not a pilot. However, I can see that judicious use of AP is necessary...and especially when emergencies occur and you need the time for correct decision making.

Absolutely - they should be flying the plane. And usually can, no matter the size, if they have a basic and instinctive knowledge, and are not totally reliant on the automation and knows it's place and function. The 737 Max is a great example where that seems to play out. Long story short is it has a glitch - it really doesn't "want" to fly by design. It's engineering stuff, engines too big, wings in wrong place - something. But, there is a difference in American pilots approach and foreign pilots. American pilots tend to have more experience actually "flying" an air plane, and when the glitch presented itself, they would almost instinctively and subconsciously respond to it. Most it becomes is a bitchin point in the coffee break room or scuttlebutt on the internet. Foreign pilots tend to rely more on the automation, which can pile error, upon error. Countries are in a hurry to get pilots into the air, so push and skip in training. In my flight simulations, when I get into difficulty, first thing I do is what I learned from pilots - dump the automation and take control. Do what you know to do to get it right and stabilize, then kick the AP back on. The only time I don't do that is when I find my plane in really, really deep in the toilet. Then I tell Zeke, hey you figure it out, I gettin some coffee. Sometimes he actually does, but most times he doesn't. Oh, Zeke is the "Z" key on the Microsoft Flight Simulator to toggle the AP. Have a good one, ole' boy!

I'll have to see this again, but my interpretation is that the 'Flight Director' is essentially the 'Auto Pilot' we think of, since many changes during flight by the pilots and ATC appear to be controlled on it. I've noticed speed, altitude and direction are typically made on the FD, when it's engaged. Of course, when flying manually and/or on TO or approach/landing, you are using the yoke, rudder peddles and throttle.

A really nice presentation of the three systems and how they work. I understand them but gained a lot more perspective about how pilots operate and interact with them. My impression has always been that Boeing puts more emphasis on Pilot's flight awareness and interaction with the plane than Airbus' incorporating more monitoring of the automated systems by the pilots.

The new emergency auto land systems in some single engine planes add to the chute system so even if the pilot drops dead you passengers are safe. ERAU 80 CFIA&I ret.

My father was a navigator in the US Air Force from 1951-1973. Back then apparently navigators were needed in KC97's KC135 tankers and C133 and C141 cargo plains. Since then I have heard navigators are no longer used although I don't know what year they were eliminated.

Incredible. Did you explain everything from memory or are you reading from a tele prompter/queue cards?

Nice video! I’ve always wondered are the FMC’s linked together, or do they work independently depending on what each pilot has put into their’s?

Thanks Michelle for the quick, nice and easy exaplaination! I had one question, hopefully you answer, why captain can only taxi? Why not first officer?

Hi Michelle. Enjoyed this briefing. As you talked about how the A/P relieved the pilots of workload, I reflected back on a book I recently completed about flying in the 30's and 40"s when pilots still had a lot of workload to contend with (and they did not have the technology pilots have today). Ernest K Gann's "Fate is the Hunter". Wondering if either you or Captain Joe have ever read it? Thanks so much for sharing your flying knowledge and experiences with us.

Michelle bedankt voor je video. Ik kon wat leren. Alles onhouden is iets anders. Ik hoop dat U nu kunt werken. In Schiphol zie ik nog teveel vliegtugen.
