I posted it last time but this video is quite nice if you're flying an MSN that doesn't lose all ACPs:
For the MSNs that have all ACPs connected to the AMU see the following report from one our aircraft:

You don't need to have had a heads up so much on a failure like this. You need to strictly follow AVIATE (try both APs, try the ATHR, clear THR LOCK), Navigate (continue on the flight planned route), Communicate (Try all headsets, speakers, ACPs, PTTs, Switching and boxes) - if the comms are giving you hassle and distracting too much give it 7600 and forget for a while, ECAM - Work through it. The engines are still turning, the wings are still attached - take 'er easy. DODAR it, Assign tasks, NITS it, set up, brief, land. Be like the I.T. guy off the office in his go karting story...... 'What were you worried about?'
