Frequently Asked Questions:

Choosing the right flight simulator depends on what you want to achieve...

The Airbus and Boeing represent distinct philosophies in aircraft design. 

The Airbus A320, a technological marvel, emphasizes pilot assistance. Its sidestick control offers ease of use, complemented by automatic trim for precise handling.

The Boeing 737-800, in contrast, the Boeing adheres to a more traditional approach. Its yoke-based control demands greater pilot involvement and physical effort. With fewer automated aids, Boeing aircraft require pilots to manage a higher mental workload.

This difference highlights the evolution of flight control, from hands-on manipulation to technology-assisted operation.
