lets see>>>>>> something fails on the Airbus.
1/ run ECAM actions
2/Check paper QRH for other critical info not covered in the ECAM actions
3/check FCOM 3 for other critical info not covered in the ECAM actions
4/Check bulletins for other critical info not covered in the ECAM actions
5/ Hope like hell you didn't miss someting important or read it the wrong way.
Just ask the KA Pilot's at Kai Tak with a flap problem 7 years ago, they nearly bought the farm that day.
I hope that the Airbus guys never have to run the smoke checklist in a real smoke filled cockpit, they'd better read it carefully.
And what the hell is with the flap system in those things? !!!! oh dear it's complicated what does what and when.
Yeah sounds like Airbus have the operation running like greased lightening.
This is not the case on the 777, generally things run very smoothly and the Electronic checklist works great.
Airbus build a cheap aircraft, no doubt about it.
The Hyundai of the skies.
You get what you pay for.
