Cold Flight Deck - A320 Family
What are pilots' experience with cold flight deck temperatures on the A320 Family of aircraft?
It's my understanding that temps can reach as low as the mid-20's (degrees Fahrenheit) around pilots' legs/feet.
How do you manage or cope with temperatures that cold?

Never heard of such a thing on the Airbus. Climate control is excellent.
The plane that totally sucks for climate control both the cockpit compartment itself and especially lack of heat in the feet/rudder pedals area is the 717.

On the 717, try the windshield defog...seems to help even down by the feet.

I've been on the 320 since 2011 with a 9 month tour on the 330 earlier this year.... can't say I've ever noticed it, nor have I ever used the foot warmer.
I do use the footrests a good bit in cruise, though.
