With fly-by-wire technology, one (i.e. a 5 yr old) can now pilot a 200-ton aircraft by nudging a little black joystick.

  • stupied question .......... are the ailerons not used for the taxi by turning the joystick or is it the ruder ?

  • @82kgamer

    No, ailerons are not used on the ground. The tiller is used to control the nosegear. See the other video

  • My question is: does it take a lot of training to use the left hand as the operating hand with the stick? I mean, if one is a righthander and not so good with the left...

    Sorry if the question is stupid, but I tried to imagine using the stick with the left hand and it seemed difficult.

    I guess I would only make it to first officer :-) Thanks in advance.

  • @necaro

    No, it's very natural and easy to get use to. I am right handed btw.

  • do you ever feel that you "loose" flying skills with the ease of use in an airbus? (or the apparent ease of use)?

  • @sssoaring2

    No, I don't. You still can maintain the skills and proficiency.

  • Are u a captain and what airline?

  • thanks for sharing videos!!!!

  • @82kgamer you use the rudder not the ailerons when taxiing, plus you don't actually use the rudder pedals when on the ground except on the runway, you use something on your left to move the aircraft left or right

  • @ihcim108. A330 or A340. but not an A320.

  • pilot came at 0:21 lol
