A320 Qrh
Dear Tubby,
If it's any consolation for you... The A320 QRH and ECAM is just as bad or even worst.
First the Page of the SMOKE/FUMES/ Removal comes just before (on the left side) the SMOKE/FUMES drill paper x-list. Which, as I've seen in the SIM leads a lot of crews to start the removal before starting the smoke drill.
This procedure has been changed around 10 times during the last ten years.
Then a ground course/1,5 hours briefing should be dedicated to this crazy two in one, breaking chapter in between, Dostoievski novel.
Then there's the crazy Airbus Indentation format, maybe very comfortable for theToulouse guys while they have a coffe, but useless for pilots with a CKPT full of smoke.
Then you should rather take an F/E with you to complete and understand last part of the Electrical Emgy Consideration/Setting and Gen2 Reset.
If that's not enough, you have a foolish square box to tell pilots that if situation becomes unmanageable, consider an immediate Ldg. THANK YOU AIRBUS!!!
I've seen few crews to work it out properly, and statistic don't lie.
With the old proc. an unperceptible cabin depressurization was commonly induced by the crew. And now nobody understands the removal at 10,000 feet.
I know it is a complicated proc on every A/C, but the guys at Toulouse should simplify it as much as they can and turn it operational rather than academic.
Regards.
