Not strictly CBT related, but if you have not flown Airbus FBW before, do make sure that you understand Ground Speed Mini[mum], used to adjust thrust during approach.

It works the opposite way round to the constant IAS method, (e.g Boeing). Airbus FBW Auto-thrust will increase thrust during a headwind gust, and decrease thrust during a tailwind gust.

Secondly, make sure you understand how the FBW works to help you, and how to use the side-stick

Have a good one. Airbus FBW is a fantastic and very cleverly designed aircraft. I cannot get a job at the moment, so have not flown one for a while and I am jealous
