Before I ask the question let me say that this question is in no way trying to mock or decry FR pilots.
I fly as a PAX, and I'm pretty sure that when flying on 737-200s, that on approach to land they seem to roll a lot (both in frequency and amount of roll) compared to comparable approaches in 737-300s or Airbus 319/320. To be fair here I am comparing 737-200 into LBA, DUB or MAN compared to A320(EI) / A319(BD), and 737-300 into LPL compared to -200 - so it may be a local thing.
Having said that, approaching LBA in a 737-200 feels very much like the same approach in an EMB145 which do feel like they get blown around a bit.
So you profressionals, are the -200s more inclined to roll about on teh approach?
Thanks in advance
