“Nowadays, at some airlines, an instructor or examiner will slap your hand if you choose to fly manually during some parts of a sim check. It is forbidden to touch the manual pitch trim of any Airbus if it is not flying in Direct Law, which never happens in the sim, except for one minute and a half upon initial training so the appropriate box can be ticked.”
On any specific FFS IOS Malfunction page under FLIGHT CONTROLS, you can count more than 20 selectable icons and under ADIRU, you can count more than 10.
In both B & A simulators, you see numbers of malfunctions available which are not incorporated in any training syllabus and are thus never utilized. (“Only move the shiny switches.”)
I realize there is a certain basic common default package, however.
