Read full descriptionHide full description
The perfect study tool for all trainee and current Airbus A320 series Pilots. Includes both CEO and NEO version differences where applicable. This iPad/iPhone application is developed using material and pilot training notes including official Airbus FCOM, FCTM and the QRH to allow Pilots to study as a refresher or prepare for their command upgrade. It covers failure management, ECAM, Airbus memory item drills, complex and demanding failures, technical reviews on systems, limitations, low visibility procedures, RVSM/PBN, MEL/CDL and supplementary information covering cold weather and icing, windshears, weather and wake turbulence. The memory item drills include: Loss of braking, Emergency descent, Stall recovery, Stall warning at lift-off, Unreliable airspeed, GPWS/EGPWS warnings and cautions, TCAS warnings and Windshears. The complex and demanding failure chapter goes in depth with failures such as: Dual Bleed faults, Smoke/Fumes cases, Dual FMGC failure, Engine malfunctions of all levels, Fuel leak, Dual Hydraulic faults, Landing gear problems, Rejected takeoff and evacuation, Upset preventions and much more. Technical revision gives a good study highlight for all the Airbus A320 systems including Air conditioning, Ventilation and Pressurisation, Electrical, Hydraulics, Flight-Controls and Automation, Landing gear, Pneumatics, etc. The application also covers useful topics such as aircraft limitations, low visibility procedures, RVSM/PBN, MEL, CDL and other supplementary information such as cold weather and icing, turbulence and windshears in more detail. The application will no doubt be a great asset to any trainee or existing Airbus Pilot for both revision and training purposes including refresher training. It is to be used for Training Purposes ONLY. It is NOT for operational use.
