But probably this is the reason why jetphotos is a great platform. Topics are opened, and almost a decade later, the author of that topic has not vanished. I've just read how UAL opened this topic (his #1).
'Why was Captain Sullenberger able to operate his A320 like a Hudson ferry boat, and all 155 souls on board survived?'
To answer that question with a comparison between A and B, a deeper understanding of an A320 is needed. Which I don't have, but..
Gabriel, that's what I also had in mind after I left the theatre in December '016, when the Sully film was shown. If Captain Sullenberger were a veteran B737 flight captain, the result must've been the same.
Or is there a difference between 320 and 737 concerning the behaviour as a ferry boat (land on water and float)?
I don't own a semipro 737 simulator so that I could try something like that.
