Just starting my first ever multicrew type rating on the A330. The company I work for use the VACBI ground trainer which is licenced by airbus and covers everything. In tandem we have all been issued with the 330 FCOMs so we can use it as a reference if we have any problems.
Whilst undergoing the VACBI we are having sessions in the fixed base ECAM and FMGS trainer, and after that freeplay sessions where we can go in and deal with some of the more complex scenarios that may arise during sim and line training.
Have come to the conclusion it is a very intersting a/c with some very good points and some very unusual ones !
