Just tried it in the Simulator
i just got back from my annual Instrument Rating Check ride on the A320 simulator.
So just a few points
1. it takes very little time to accelerate to Flap overspeed at TOGA and pitch att. 5 degrees.
once she gets there the CRC continuos Chime and the Red Overspeed barberpole are the 2 things that hold your attention compellingly.
2. regular visits to 6 axis simulators are very effective in making Airline pilots generally imune to spatial disorientaion.
3.the A320 Auto Thrust system is such that.Pilots have very little practice of managing thrust by moving the thrust levers.
they are much more likely(as compared to other A/C, in terms of speed management) to use the sidestick in response to any PFD induced perception of over/under speed.
Hence there is a need to take a fresh look at how the Speed tape is orientated.
