Airbus touch-and-go
Perhaps this has already been discussed in the forums in this secion, but some keyword searches didn't help, so here it is a question for Airbus drivers ...
Which is the best way to manage touch-and-go training, pattern work, and the like, in an Airbus?
I have been told there are ways (or need) to configure the FMGC for that, but I am wondering if this kind of exercises are done with some level of automation, or only by hand flying (I understand this is an hands-on kind of training, but I am wondering about a more or less side-role of automation in it). This may refer primarily to the managed speed during the approach phase, the automation of which, I think, needs to be reset each time.
Do airlines have specific SOPs for this kind of training work?
Thanks!
