A link to the manual is in Menu - Settings - About. A320 CBT is a sophisticated flight simulator that is specifically designed to help prevent unstable approaches. It is an excellent tool for both instructors and pilots new to the A320 series aircraft. It supports both the A320, A321, and the NEO. This app is entirely created by an active A320 Captain and the author of the book "Practical Descent Energy Management". A320 CBT is a unique, first-ever flight simulator that features interactive lessons as well as a free flight mode. Several predefined scenarios are included that help you save time setting up high energy situations. You can also save the current state of flight to create custom situations. All phases of flight are supported, from take off, landing, to go-around. It also supports ILS, VOR, and RNP approaches. The ILS signal bends realistically outside of its normal range, simulating real-world behavior. If features a novel proprietary physics engine that uses very little hardware resources while at the same time providing a realistic flight experience. A revolutionary vector graphics engine made by Rive, provides super sharp, high quality graphics. It supports lossless zooming, making it suitable to run on small screen devices without blurred graphics when zoomed in. The intuitive interface allows you to easily control the Autopilot via the FCU buttons. Both cold weather and incorrect QNH situations are supported. The runway elevation can be changed to easily create different high airfield scenarios. Disclaimer: this is not an official training tool. System, performance, and SOP errors can occur.
