Embrace the tray table.
Take a hard look at go-around scenarios to include intermediate altitude ones....they can get real exciting based on what you do with the power levers. If you are the studying type, look around for other sources of info...particulaly a Thales manual. The Vol 2 is kind of a mess. Training is a little teach yourself but the instructors are great and willing to help where needed. I've been in the 320 for a little less than 5 years now and have very much enjoyed it.

As a former Check Airmen on the 330, a few observations while doing IOE/TOE.
1. It is not a Boeing. I got so tired of hearing “But the Boeing did it this way”
2. , It will not start down at TOD unless you tell it to.
3., When you push a knob, the airplane is in control. When you pull a knob, you have control.
4. In Managed descent, it tends to honor airspeed more then the path. Not good at doing both.
5. It is a very clean Airplane. It will not slow down and come down at the same time.
6. Speedbrakes are your friend. Don’t be afraid to use them. It doesn’t mean you screwed up.
7. Fly it like what it is : An Airplane! Cross Wind landings are no big deal if you remember that
8. Learn the auto throttle system inside and out. That is usually what get guys in trouble
It is a great Airplane. The only thing I miss in Retirement is not being able to fly it.
Have fun and enjoy.
