Coming back onto the A320 from the B787 after 4 years, during the endorsement I would say that out of habit, but as it turns out now we just say,
“I have control, ECAM actions”. Radios are automatically transferred to the PF.
After “ECAM ACTIONS COMPLETE” Radios are automatically transferred back to the PM.
It took a while to get used to it, but it works well enough. Doesn’t hurt to do a little “mini brief” just to bring everyone in the loop, especially if there has been a PF->PM swap at some point during the ECAM ACTIONS.
Interestingly, in our company on the 787, we didn’t transfer Radios during Non Normal Checklists, and it worked pretty well, but the Electronic checklists on the 787 are next level compared with the A320. I guess that’s the 30 years of development for you.
