Thanks Flintsone. Will do! Below 10,000 selected speed to FAF. Got it.
Thanks everyone! I'm looking forward to getting started.

Are you an AS employee? If you're currently an employee you can find that information online the pilot site. If you're a newhire they will send you a packet/online info you can use to get started before day 1 class.

I'm a new hire. Any idea how far out they send the information.

Relax. Go have a beer or 10. We all did it, you will too. I'm assuming you haven't started class yet, based on your questions? If so, you should be enjoying what time you have left with your family before this company steals it all.

As others have said, the Airbus training department is top-notch. The people who run it believed in developing a fair and comprehensive training program designed to pass.

I think it’s been said, but if you can finish all the CBTs before day one, you will have an enjoyable training experience with little stress.

If you have time to learn anything learn the control laws. If you know those on day one the rest will be a piece of cake.

I went through AB training about a year and half ago. Honestly, it was fun. Sim instructors were good. Examiner on type ride was very laid back. Laid back training but you'll learn a lot.

One of our captain at Spirit created this interactive study guide for the ipad. It's better than reading the 1,000+ page Airbus manual or the stuff you'll get as a new hire.

A lot of this info is great.... once you’re through training. The curriculum is designed to get you up to speed as quick as possible, so just stick with the plan.

A320 Electrical Controls

Far more here than just the electric controls. Click through all the panels while rubbing your favorite TSA undergarment.
