Did that particular crew went through UAS procedure training?
The BEA report covered that in depth
It does not cover it in a way I fully understand...
2008-2009 instruction season E33 simulator training. “IAS douteuse” exercise
Note: The A320 type rating programme at Air France in 2004 did not include a “vol avec IAS douteuse” exercise.
General note: The additional A330 and A340 type ratings deal only with the differences in relation to the type ratings already issued on other types (A320, A330, and A340).
So what is this saying? They did not train it, because they were trained on the A320 where this is not part of the exercise, and then did not train it when changing to the A330 because it is the same for both models?
The scenario selected for the simulator exercise required the crew to perform the component items of the emergency manoeuvre in a context in which the aircraft remained in normal law and no alarm was triggered.
Based on the information provided by the operator, the pilots of F-GZCP performed this training session on the following dates:
ˆˆ Captain: A330 training on 12 March 2008;
ˆˆ Copilot in left seat: A330 training on 6 December 2008;
ˆˆ Copilot in right seat: A330 training on 2 February 2009.
If all 3 have been trained on the A330, why is there the A320 and the type rating remark?
And all 3 did train UAS procedure once in normal law and at low altitude only?
Could have all been worded a little clearer...
