A320 Buttons Book?

[CirrusMonkey]

I have been looking on the Google machine for an A320 buttons book (a guide that shows what each button does). Like what JetBlue has, but cannot find anything. The CBTs aren't all that thorough. Any ideas? It is highly recommended to review these items before training, as stated by the company. Thanks!

What company?

Between the lights & switches, Volume 2 and our CBT's it was more than enough to keep me occupied.

"A320 Systems Guide" has more than enough minutiae to keep you satisfied for a long time.

If the company flies yellow airplanes, one of their pilots sells a button book in apples iBook bookstore.

There is also a 320 iPad app that explains each button when you touch it.

Take a gander at Airbus A320: An Advanced Systems Guide (iBooks).
or a nice iPad buttons/ switches app called A320 Checkride.

Who shall you be flying "Le Boos" for? That might help get your question answered... There are a lot of products out there and some are more tailored for one company than the other...

I can't imagine a company recommending you "Pre-study" for the bus!

"FAULT" et "PUSH" en francais.

IIRC NK requires you to come in almost day one and know a bunch of crap about the bus.

Hell they even make you memorize engine limitations such as EGT's. It's an Airbus. If it has a problem it will tell you and reject the start automatically. You don't abort it manually.

Eh, I'll learn those on the plane ride over to training.

I've never understood learning EGTs on modern aircraft. The limit is that redline there. Done.

Or, uh, any aircraft where the limit is fixed and marked with a red line.

But it's where the red line is, no?

Zackly. What's the min idling oil pressure? Uh, wherever the low redline is?

 

[derg]

I have no clue!

Hell, we've gone as far as saying "if the engine shuts itself down, it was probably for a reason".

When should you abort and auto start?

For the non- "le boos" pilots: not everything is automatic. Just mostly everything.

I ended up buying the iBook mentioned here, if that tells you anything? I like it

That, and a hung start on the CFM engines. Wasn't that monitored on the IAE?
