Episode Details

What's it really like to fly a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320 for thousands of hours? This episode digs into type ratings, the engineering philosophies that divide pilots into theological camps, and the specific quirks — from the 737's clattering trim wheel to the A320's alpha floor protection — that make each aircraft feel like a living thing. If you've ever wondered why pilots argue about side sticks and yokes, this one's for you.
