Im suposed to do a 320 course in Jan. Been a Boeing boy since birth and cut my command teeth on the 737.

Ive been reading up and asking around. Seems this A320 is quite ok when everything is working just hunkey-dorey. Soon as you get a REAL problem (fuel leak, blocked pitot/static, loss of prim ess AC feed) the ECAM gives you crap. Follow it blindly and your dead.

Wasnt there an incident in UK where a cockpit went dark and lost all the screens and the prob was ess AC feed? The all-singing dancing ECAM had the required drill many pages down!

Ive tryed reading the FCOMs and QRH. What a nighmare! Boeing has 99% of all the info you need in the QRH. Scarebus has 99% of all the info you need scattered within 5 confusing books (1% youll never find)!

Im still deciding if I realy should do a course on this thing.
