A320 attitude display on ground
Hi all,
I noticed today that on the CA side, the attitude indicator showed pitch down indications on the ground, instead of the normal blank, brown hemisphere.
Any idea what caused that, or how to reset it?

To help troubleshoot this (on the ground while not in flight), you can switch the ATT HDG ECAM switch to Capt on 3.
If the odd display remains the fault is downstream of the DMCs. If the fault clears, the problem is at, or upstream of, DMC 1.

Call maintenance and have a coffee in the meantime. Works very well to keep you away from troubles.

I mean on the bus. It was more or less 5-7 years for us when we started seeing things the manuals could not readily explain. As if the aircraft started behaving non-deterministically. ��
Until that point we thought to belong inside the "it's doing it again" group already, but for some metaphysical reason become "ain't seen nothing yet" people for a while.
Just wonder if your vibes perhaps are similar, it's half of a joke.

Press PFD/ND XFER twice, will clear every time.
Only ever seems to crop up on EIS 2 fitted aircraft and only after daily maintenance checks. No idea why though, should only crop up after becoming airborne?
