The access is free, with no authentication. You will find videos, presentations, and articles that deal with flight operations and training topics that Airbus considers necessary to highlight. You can read media, or download them for a later consultation. Information is posted on a periodic basis and is maintained up to date. The information is displayed in a structure similar to the Airbus flight operations manuals (FCOM/FCTM). New information is highlighted in the main page, with links to the relevant media. You will also have the possibility to search for information on specific subjects, or relevant to a specific Airbus aircraft via the “search” function. Any suggestion on the content of the application is welcome. You have a dedicated “Suggestions” form for that. However, technical questions should always be submitted via “Tech Request” tool, the dedicated channel available for Airbus Operators. Finally, please always keep in mind that the operational documentation is the reference.
