A320 to A330?

Tom Cat,
There are only three handling differences:
1. Flap 2 does not give the drag effect on the 330 compared to the 320 on the approach
2. The flare height
3. Taxiing on the ground
Otherwise the systems are a little more complicated, but you hardly notice that under normal operations.
That's about it really. (Except that it climbs a lot better)!

Well bat.man aren't you the helpfull one?
1. You rotate any jet airliner at 3 degrees a second. The fly by wire controls of both the 320 and 330 means that they feel pretty much the same.
2. Any aircraft has pitch problems in turbulence - the 330 and 320 are no different.
3. Cross wind landings are more stable in the 330, but it handled the same as the 320.
I suppose the only difference between the two with reference to the above 3 points is that the 330 is bigger and has more momentum than the 320. But, considering the difference in sizes, you notice this much less than you would think.
