Gents,
I'm not an A320 pilot, but I have some idea of the layout. Even on the older planes without the software mod, isn't it true that the ECAM memo would show an amber PARK BRAKE? In this case, how can a contributing factor be that the crew did not check the right side of the ECAM, only the left? It's the same screen for heaven's sake!! I'd imagine that even if the msg was in green, they'd have picked up on it.
I really don't see what good the it will do to write in a manual "remember to check the lower right side of the ECAM". I don't see how a crew can not check the right side of the ECAM. I'm going to have to call BS on that one. To me, it's a bit like a piston pilot saying "I checked the oil pressure was a bit high, but I did not check the adjacent oil temperature gauge". Anyone care to comment or correct me? I'd be really interested to get another view on this.
