So go into that oral knowing every button damn well or you will fail. Phases of flight/general airbus logic and everything that goes with that too. The moral of the story is don’t half ass the oral be prepared. I had no problem with training and agree that it wasn’t that bad but that oral is rough. Hope this helps, don’t fail and get on that senority list.
100% correct. Just read AOM 1 and you'll be fine. Did I say read AOM 1! The lack of training could be a real NTSB finding if and when we have a major issue. A lot of folks that think they can just get the gouge end up in a bad spot when the oral is done. IMHO the oral should be after the sim training, we'd have fewer issues.
