737Sluggish Compared to
I am an Ex Air Force Fighter pilot and am currently fling B737-200 and have talked to pilots who have flown the 737-200/300/400/700/800.They find that the B 737 -700/800 are more responsive than the 737-200 during the landing phase . I was an Experimental Test Pilot in the Indian Air Force prior to joining civil Aviayion and did an evaluation on the Airbus 320-200 on the simulator as well as the aircraft. At the time I distinctly remember that the Airbus 320 200 handled extremely well in the lateral plane. There is a specific Exercisewhere you make an approach to a runway and then at 200 feet AGL you make a landing on the parallel runway and the Airbus handled extremely well. I havent flown the 737 500/700 or the 777 so I cannot comment but the control laws are pretty much the same as the 737-700/800/. Hope this was useful.
