A320 Flying the BUSS and avionics smoke in the simulator
Question. Have you flown the A320 BUSS in the simulator in your airline ?
I would like to have A320 BUSS training in the sim, you?
What is it like flying the BUSS at high altitude?
šTo use the BUSS, the crew must first disconnect the three ADRs (air data reference - anemometric stations). Once these have been disconnected, the crew can no longer use them during the flight.
With the BUSS system, speed is no longer calculated by the Pitot probes, but by the aircraft's incidence probes. The speed indication, which is less precise, is presented in the form of green, ambre and red stripes. In a high turbulence situation at high altitude, the speed indication given is very unstable and difficult to useš
How does it work configuring the sim for it ?
Our training in Europe, we always have to repeat the same engine failure drill twice a year, yet other failures training much less frequent, true in your airline?
Are the authorities in Europe, still behind the curve and out of date when have to repeat time and again the same engine failure drills ?
More avionics smoke training should be done in the simulator, urgently (look at Egyptair ) do you agree ?
When was the last time you did A320 avionics smoke in the simulator compared to engine failure/ engine fire?
What are statistical chances of having a engine failure versus avionics smoke in a A320?
