Hi relax.jet,

In general good practical guide. Switches description and practical advice.
Be aware there might be considerable differences with newer models which you have to point out. Took me quite a time to compare my FCOM with this guide to write notes wherever I spotted a difference.

Regards.

Buy.

It's an excellent guide, I've flown the A320 series for around 8 years now and still refer to this manual on the run up to a sim check. It's a very well written manual in my opinion. As has already been pointed out, there will be differences so keep a keen eye out for them! Fortunately, the manual has spaces for notes to be written; I've made extensive use of this!

Cheers

Yep, it's a good reference and I used it when I was on the A320.

The other one available is from Avsoft. Although I've never seen their A320 guide, their A330 guide is stuffed full of mistakes.

Good luck

Does anyone know where I can purchase the book without paying $50 postage ?

The postage cost just as much as the book !!

is it true there is an iphone application with this book?

[Metro man]

There is an A320 iphone application by Chain Linked Inc. Basically 600 question and answer flash cards. It will give you cards on particular systems or a mix of any ones you want. Tap the screen for the answer.

You can add your own cards to the various systems and there is one for you to add company procedures. You can't edit their questions and answers though.

Covers A319/320/321 CFM and IAE
