This is a technical 117 pages guide for the Airbus A320 Pilot or Cadet to study an in-depth breakdown of the various systems pages including the Engine Warning Display presented in the flightdeck. The systems displays include: CRUISE, ENGINE, BLEED, CABIN PRESSURE, ELECTRIC, HYDRAULICS, FUEL, APU, AIR CONDITIONING, DOOR/OXYGEN, WHEELS and FLIGHT CONTROLS. We have also added a description of the Slats and Flaps part displayed nmormally on the EWD, accesible via the Flight Controls chapter. The book comes detailed with high resolution system screen images including images for the various parameters and componenets which are displayed on the system screens. It is compatible for the A320 CEO and NEO variants. This guide is created for TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT to be used for real OPERATIONS.
Welcome to the most advanced version of the HDIW collection! In this seventh edition, we will know all the systems of one of the most sold and flown commercial aircraft in the world commercial aviation, we will know everything about the fabulous Airbus 320. We will learn the opera- tion of the main systems of the airplane. How each of them works and how they are operated by the pilots from the control panels in the cockpit. A practical guide, didactic and entertaining for any professional who is about to start flying A320 or for any professional who wants to ex- pand their frontiers of knowledge! This seventh edition of the most presti- gious collection in Latin America promises to mark a before and after in the way of learning the systems of an airplane, which complex as it may seem, is as simple and entertaining as any other aircraft. Studying an air- plane has never been so easy and entertaining as before, and from the hand of HDIW you will discover that everything is possible to learn if it is explained in the right way! Welcome to the Professional Aviation! Welcome to HDIW!
Welcome to the most complete manual about the MCDU operations based on the FMS system of the great A320. This manual describes all functions of the MCDU (Multi-Function Control and Display Unit) for Airbus A320 including definitions, normal operations and abnormal ope- rations in real flights. Learn all about each part of the MCDU, each key, each function and every detail you need as a pilot. After learning the all theory concepts, you will learn to operate the MCDU in different flights, including domestic flights, international flight and abnormal flights with emergencies. At the end of this book, you will be ready for operating the MCDU like a professional pilot.
In this manual, you as a pilot, will learn about main flight concepts and how the A320 works during normal and abnormal operations. This is not a technical manual about systems, it's a manual about of flight philo- sophy. This manual is based on the original Airbus manual called “The Flight Crew Training Manual” which is published as a supplement to the Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM) and is designed to provide pilots with practical information on how to operate the Airbus aircraft. It should be read just like a supplement and not for real flight. In this case refer to the original FCOM from Airbus. Let's start to fly the amazing A320 with our collection of books and re- member, it's not a technical manual so enjoy it!
If you are either an Airbus-driver or a serious flight simmer, this collection of information is something that should pique your interest. Learning to understand and operate one of the world's most complex machines is a tall request from a simple book like this ... and Captain Mike Ray is up to the task. His treatment of the airplane systems and operational techniques is written in an interesting and entertaining way ... and makes learning the difficult and complex ... well, almost easy. This over 400 page document is lavishly illustrated in full color to take advantage of the increased learning potential in the use of color. There can be no doubt that the Airbus A320 is a color driven systems airplane and this book attempts to take full advantage of the use of color in describing and illustrating the operations of the airplane systems and controls. Whatever price penalty is incurred in the purchasing of this color volume is well worth the investment in increased learning potential.
An exploration of the Airbus fly-by-wire flight control laws that become active when Normal law can no longer function. A follow on to Airbus A330 Normal Law.
On 28 December 2014 an Airbus A320-216 aircraft registered as PK-AXC was cruising at 32,000 feet on a flight from Juanda Airport, Surabaya, Indonesia to Changi Airport, Singapore with total occupants of 162 persons. The Pilot in Command (PIC) acted as Pilot Monitoring (PM) and the Second in Command (SIC) acted as Pilot Flying (PF). The Flight Data Recorder (FDR) recorded that many master cautions activated following the failure of the Rudder Travel Limiter which triggered Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring (ECAM) message of AUTO FLT RUD TRV LIM SYS. The crew tried repeatedly to reset the computers but the autopilot and auto-thrust disengaged and the flight control reverted to Alternate Law. The investigation showed that the loss of electricity and the RTLU failure were caused by a cracked solder joint. All occupants of the plane were killed in the accident.
In a constantly growing aeronautical industry, the demand for professional pilots is increasing. Year after year thousands of applicants come to the airlines looking for a job, but only a small fraction of them get the job, and of that small fraction, only a very select group are the pilots who manage to develop their professional careers in a company. The other pilots don't get achieve their goals for different reasons, one of them is the lack of knowledge that leads them to face challenges that they cannot overcome. In this guide we will try to provide each reader with the necessary tools to learn all the most relevant aspects of one of the most flying commercial aircraft in the world. A complete guide that covers the knowledge of all the aircraft's systems, the Airbus flight philosophy, and a complete analysis of the operation of the FMS flight system where the reader will learn to operate the flight computer effectively and in various situations that may occur in real life. Finally you will learn all about a normal operation in a complete day as a pilot in command of A320. After learning the contents of this A320 encyclopedia, the pilot will arrive at the new job with a solid knowledge of the aircraft he will fly and this will make his learning process within the airline reach the highest academic and professional level.
The advent of very compact, very powerful digital computers has made it possible to automate a great many processes that formerly required large, complex machinery. Digital computers have made possible revolutionary changes in industry, commerce, and transportation. This book, an expansion and revision of the author's earlier technical papers on this subject, describes the development of automation in aircraft and in the aviation system, its likely evolution in the future, and the effects that these technologies have had -- and will have -- on the human operators and managers of the system. It suggests concepts that may be able to enhance human-machine relationships in future systems. The author focuses on the ability of human operators to work cooperatively with the constellation of machines they command and control, because it is the interactions among these system elements that result in the system's success or failure, whether in aviation or elsewhere. Aviation automation has provided great social and technological benefits, but these benefits have not come without cost. In recent years, new problems in aircraft have emerged due to failures in the human-machine relationship. These incidents and accidents have motivated this inquiry into aviation automation. Similar problems in the air traffic management system are predicted as it becomes more fully automated. In particular, incidents and accidents have occurred which suggest that the principle problems with today's aviation automation are associated with its complexity, coupling, autonomy, and opacity. These problems are not unique to aviation; they exist in other highly dynamic domains as well. The author suggests that a different approach to automation -- called "human-centered automation" -- offers potential benefits for system performance by enabling a more cooperative human-machine relationship in the control and management of aircraft and air traffic.
