At times you will be frustrated with the Airbus FMS/MCDU. For instance, if you load the Palace5 in the box for DTW & are told to intercept the airway (rather then go direct DUNKS) then you have to insert SVM, because the MCDU must always have a TO & FROM point...or an anchor point.

Also, you can't line select things into the scratch pad. Overall, it's a comfortable airplane, but it'll keep you on your toes.
