When I make VATSIM flights, also live here on YouTube, you'll see me predominantly flying Boeing aircraft, ranging from a short haul 737 to a long haul 747 cargo! In this video I will explain to you why I am mainly flying Boeing aircraft, using 5 reasons that make me fly things like the Airbus less or make it less enjoyable for me.

Does that mean I don't fly other aircraft? No! I love experimenting with other aircraft as well, like the Airbus or the Dash-8! However, it also feels great to fly an aircraft you know well and to make that flight as perfect as possible with that aircraft, without having to worry about workflows, systems, knobs, switches, and philosphies you are not entirely familiar with! :)

MY SPECS:

As a real Boeing and Airbus pilot, I love Airbus more if we’re talking about comfort and user friendly interfaces. If I were to fly in an emergency, I prefer Boeing. When I grab the yoke of a Boeing, the plane does not argue with me, resist my input or “think about it.” I have never had to compete with a computer for control on a Boeing. Dont get me wrong, I love both aircraft.

[michaelrodeback]

I really like Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Embraer, if It's aviation I love it. Of all of them I personally prefer Boeing. And that's a really biased statement because my Grandfather worked for Boeing. If it weren't for that I would be pretty close to liking them both.

[taxman]

In my opinion, the 'Boeing-Type' cockpit design and look is massively aesthetic.

[LtColDaddy]

Coming from a GA, military and flying the 737 commercially background, Ive experienced different philosophies. The F/A-18 and combat aircraft in general are much more “Airbussy” than you would think. More times than not, the computer is deploying your ordinance payload, your just driving the bomb bus. The 73 is just so uncomfortable for anything over 2 hrs. If my airline had opted to bring in baby buses, I’d have volunteered to fly them. My heart would always belong to Boeing, but their is a lot to be said for being able to walk upright. But I’m tall, a smaller person would probably be fine.

[danwheeler]

I like Boeing because I don't like being controlled! Also, my Dad retired from Boeing, my brother is a mechanic on Boeing planes, and I live in Renton, which is where 737's are made! I enjoy your videos. Thanks!

[bRiteSavagekiLLer]

I’m late, I know.

I started off in the A320. I love it to this day. But I see myself now switching to Boeing simply due to manual flying. I feel the Airbus is so much more choppy, and Boeing is smooth. I fly the 787 and learning the 777. I want to learn to fly the 737 but the cockpit just looks like they randomly stuck buttons with random switches everywhere 😂 I can’t chose between boeing and Airbus.

I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you, my friend for your continuing work for all of us who do truly enjoy being simmers of every aircraft. You make it much more approachable for us, which adds to our enjoyment. Please keep your smiling face near the camera, help us keep flying fun! Best Regards, E. Unohu

Since I started with FS2004, I started on the 737-400. However, over time I found I loved the Airbus system… I’ve always been a techie person, and I truly appreciate the way Airbus’ systems work. However, I’ve been using Aerofly FS, they just came out with a 2022 version which now includes the Boeing 787. I’ve tried learning Boeing’s systems, and it’s definitely interesting; I’d say it’s easier to learn Boeing, then go to Airbus, rather than the other way around. Thanks for your awesome videos!

When you would much rather prefer to fly small
*sees FMC*: excuse me wtf

[defnotdan]

I started off with the 737-800 with the demo version of x-plane11. But soon i tried other simulators and converted to airbus and started flying the A320. Now i am pretty experienced with the a320 and in my opinion, i think bowing cockpits are pretty messy, but airbus cockpits are layed out, like this area is the fire test, this area is the lights, fuel, etc. But still i think we all should learn how to fly new aircraft to make your brain good with capacity and learning.

[Username-wwcd]

In my opinion, Airbus cockpits look cooler (especially at night), they are clearly much more spacious and comfortable for pilots, I love the sidestick as it allows space for a traytable, I prefer the dark cockpit philosophy with pushbuttons, the ECAM is an excellent helpful tool, the displays look better, the autopilot system makes more sense (AP1 and AP2 instead of LNAV, VNAV, all the CMD options and the lack of the course knob making things simpler). In an emergency, I would also much rather be in an airbus - it tells you what is happening and literally gives you a lift of responses. And airbuses are more comforable for passengers in my opinion (in terms of a320 vs 737 and a380 vs 747).

[ronijatkola]

I love your youtube channel and simulator videos!!!😍😍😍👌🏻👌🏻

[hercules]

Amazing video, I started with fsx, so I had already an Airbus as default along with the 737 and 747. Since I'm a Lufthansa fan and simulate their flights, I fly the short hauls with fslabs a320 and long haul with the pmdg 747 so I'm used to both and love them both.

[mnieuwhof]

Same here... I started with the Dreamfleet 737, after that I went up to the LDS767 for years... and from that moment the PMDG737 and 747...

[stevebradfield]

I too love Boeings...especially the old 247. When Western Airlines had their 50th anniversary here in Salt Lake City in 1977 I had the privilege of being part of the crowd who got to climb through it. Wonderful little beast.

[oliverek]

Just wanted to drop by and say thank you for your vatsim tutorials and advice as I am now really starting to enjoy flying on vatsim without feeling so anxious and sweaty! I have done about 5 or 6 flights now on the network in the 737-800 and have recently started to use voice as well to build up my confidence more! I might start learning some airbus aircraft soon as well!

[everettrailfan]

The plane that really got me started in real flight simulation was X-Plane 11's default 737. I mastered it within a few weeks of getting the sim (for Christmas). Then I upgraded to the Zibo, and then I fell in love with the 737. It's my go-to aircraft if I want to fly (because I don't have any payware aircraft... yet) on VATSIM. I've always loved Boeing especially since I live next to Paine Field where Boeing's Everett Plant is, lol. Anyway, greetings from Everett! By the way, my first flight lesson was a couple months ago in a Cessna 152 in not-so-great typical, rainy, overcast Seattle weather with a ceiling of 1800 feet. :P

[danp]

Great video! I too loved the fs9 level-d 767. I took many years off (got married, had kids) and now have purchased p3d v4 and enjoy the majestic dash 8 q400, a2a c172 with gtn750 and pmdg 737. Hoping one day the level-d 767 will be updated for p3d v4. I feel at home in the Boeing cockpit. Although when I got my PPL it was entirely in the diamond da20 which has a control stick. I wish there was good quality of a da20 or da40 available. Thanks for your video!

[airflo_muc]

Concerning reason 3: Besides Boeing recommending the use of A/T for landing, too, on some types (B777, B787), why don‘t you just disconnect the A/T? YOU are the pilot! My old company even has a manual flight, manual thrust policy, meaning that if you fly manually, thrust has to be controlled manually, too.

[pascalwagner]

Hi, a question, i am pretty sure you know about those cabin sound files for FSLABS Airbus. those are triggered by specific events like boarding. Push Back etc. Is there anything similar available for the PMDG World? I am looking forward to your answers. Btw, i know FS2Crew has something like that, but with FSLABS you have soundpacks for all carriers, like Eurowings, Jetblue etc.... You got my point?
