There is an unofficial website http://www.airbusdriver.net

While we are talking about the bus, yesterday while flying I was reading FCOM 3 and in the section for "On Ground Emergency Evacuation" (3.02.80 page 1) a small note caught my attention. In this check list under
AGENTS (ENG/APU).................. As REQD

there is a small note that says "Agent 2 is not available on ground"
Of course in the Engine Fire on ground it says AGENT 1+2 Discharge. (3.02.26 page 2)

My questions is if Agent 2 is not available on the ground why bother with discharging it??

It is a brand new 320 received about a month ago, if you like I can post the MSN number here. In my old FCOM 3 there is no such note but the FCOM 3 in the aircraft has this note in it.

Any comments?
