thanks, safe flying!!
Some old Airbuses A320 in our fleet were sometimes suffering from ''FMGC TIME OUT'' shortly after landing and the MCDU will freeze if FDs were still ON. Those birds are scrapped now.
But still the habit of resetting the FDs and EFIS is still very common here even tho it's non standard. By our manual it should only be after parking checklist.
