Slight thread drift
I recently went in an A330 simulator (and had an amazing 2 hours by the way). I noticed that when I was landing, I was concentrating so hard I could not remember hearing the altitude call outs (to the point that on one landing I could have sworn they were not there), despite flaring and taking off the power at the right heights.
Do any genuine airbus pilots notice this too?
The autoilot disconnect-well I never heard because we never used the A/P but the autothrust disconnect 'ping' was fairly loud when you were sat next to it!
