I don't know how true it is, but I was told that there are air filters in the avionics ventilation system, and these are rarely changed ?

Thus, the ventilation fans have to increase their speed to...

Like you, I don't have a problem looking at the N1/EPRs and seeing the auto-thrust changes - they are in my scan anyway.

A surprising number of pilots I have known do not understand the Airbus...

I have switched the engine display onto my ND DU in the A330 during normal operations, but it was not SOP, so I only did it a couple of times. And of course you lose the ND display......

Good to...

On the Airbus, the thrust command is from your hand if in manual, and shown on the N1/EPR gauges if in auto. Very easy to see and assimilate as part of your normal scan - the levers do not need to...

For what it's worth, I didn't fly the '73 first; I flew a series of turbo-props for my first years of commercial airline flying, followed by the BAe146, none of which had auto-thrust. I then changed...

Hi Iggy, further to our pm exchange; No, I had nothing to do with the Airbus FBW design, (but I do think it is an extremely good design :ok:)

No, just no. Not at all.

It is a genuine question. I see the speed trend arrow dip, and I feel and/or see the engines spool up, or vice versa. I cannot be the only one who finds it easy? I am...

Yes, I realise that.

I am just an average pilot but I find it easy to scan both as PF; even during a turbulent approach.

Also, the Airbus auto-thrust is very good, and I trust it.

iggy, whoa ! No, I don't assume that, and I apologise and meant no disrespect, but from your previous comments; including words such as 'slamming the thrust levers', I have to ask. :)

Surely, even...

Oh FFS. The Airbus FBW thrust lever system works perfectly and intuitively. Way better than the Boeing moving lever system. (And, yes, I am type rated on, and have flown both).

You should look at...

I wouldn't call the A320 family cockpit dated, it is clean, spacious and functional. And it is easy and logical to fly and works extremely well.

You wouldn't really say that a new car with a...
