I´m not familiar with the procedures irbus thought is best for the A320. We follow company procedures which until now made sense.
BUT:
We used to read the pre-takeoff checklist this way: "All green - Flaps 1+F".
Now they have introduced "All green - Flaps 1+F - Packs on Engines/APU". The reason stated was standarization with our A 340 Fleet..
Most of us (Cpts & F/O) thougt this is quite senseless, because we seldomly have performance-problems on our fleet.
Any comments?
