SOP A320 Airfrance

Hello,

I have to go to simulator of A320 of airfrance for an evaluation. I have never seen an A320 before. I am looking for the SOP's for normal flight procedures. They won't expect us to know the airplane systems but I would like some info on it.thanks

Thumbs down

Air France SOPs. Land, dawdle on the runway, cause a go around, shrug their shoulders....

And land in a thunderstorm with VREF+40,especially if you're bound to Toronto or
Douala.Don't worry the french taxpayers foot the bill!

Zut alors!

Not much help from the colleagues, I'm afraid. Try Airbus on-line, their SOP's should be similar to AF's, I expect. And bonne courage!

RoyHudd - we say "BON courage" in French. Good try though!

french clover - while some AF landings might indeed have been less than impressive SOPs-wise, I can't see how the French taxpayer can foot the bill since AF is no longer State-owned (since the AF-KLM capital and shares swap, the French State is now a minority shareholder). Any hull damage is for the company's bottom line...

Cheers

a simulator evaluation for AF?
Are you buying a type rating with them?

Note that all their SOP's are in french. If you have a friend that did his training at EPAG (Air france cadets FTO) borrow his EPAG manuals. They look similar to AF SOP's.

Good Luck

No, not buying a typerating. It is just a thing for the quality control of our company, but the thing is that I have never been in an Airbus.
