Publisher Description
This book 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 later chapters of the book 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 book will no doubt be a great asset to any trainee or existing Airbus Pilot for both revision and training purposes including refresher training.
Customer Reviews
Succinct, Well Laid Out & Full of Information
On initial reading of this manual. I would hasten to say it’s probably one of the best two books on the A320. So far only reading a few abnormal procedures and glancing through the rest of the manual.
I would say it’s the best manual for refreshing memories for Captains or even those soon to upgrade, that I have come across in the iBooks store. It’s laid out well, easy to read and you can pinch to enlarge text.
It covers everything that an operating Captain should know and can browse as a memory reference. I feel this is one of only two technical books I purchased here, where I didn’t feel like it was a waste of money.
I’m sure on further reading I may find places for improvement however, on first 30 min perusal I’m very happy with my purchase.
