Hence the question on my other thread that is the 10 mins at take-off power a higher priority than the secure?
What do you think is more important? Getting the 2nd bottle into the engine to fight the fire, or let it burn and accelerate away from the airport?
I think Open Des’ summary might help you. The Airbus is a funny aeroplane, and the manuals are very different to Boeing, and even though they say the Airbus will look after itself, it won’t, you still need to do that piloty thing.
I’m in the middle of it too, as a refresher after 5 years on a Boeing, and it’s a struggle to get back into it the “French way”
