Most of the systems are more or less similar to any other conventional transport category aircraft.
What makes Airbus an Airbus is flight control laws and the navigation section. This can be reviewed ahead of time, but really starts to make sense when you begin using the procedures trainers.
There is being prepared and there is negative learning. Don’t reinvent the wheel, If you can prattle off the memory items, proficiency items, limitations, and flows with ease by day one, you are exactly where you need to be. Go ahead and read this paragraph again, I’ll wait.
Good, now run through the system CBTs and makes some notes, but don’t try to build the airplane before you get to class. Later on in training you will go through systems again. At this time it would help to use the AOM to make notes for the functions/faults of the lights and switches, and delve a bit deeper into systems. But hey, did you study your memory items/limitations/flows? Because guess what, botch those and you will tank your oral.
