FLIGHT CREW TRAINING MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Applicable to: ALL
The Airbus cockpit is designed to achieve pilot operational needs throughout the aircraft operating environment, while ensuring maximum commonality within the Fly by Wire family.
The cockpit design objectives are driven by three criteria:
? Reinforce the safety of flight
? Improve efficiency of flight
? Answer pilot requirements in a continuously changing environment
Airbus operational rules result from the design concept, more particularly from the following systems:
? The Fly by wire system with its control laws and protections, commanded through the side stick,
? An integrated Auto Flight System (AFS) comprising:
‐ The FMS interfaced through the MCDU, ‐ The AP/FD interfaced through the FCU, ‐ The A/THR interfaced through the non back driven thrust levers,
‐ The FMA, providing Guidance targets and Information, to monitor the AFS
? A set of Display units (DU) providing information and parameters required by the crew
‐ To operate and to navigate the aircraft (the EFIS) ‐ To communicate (the DCDU)
‐ To manage the aircraft systems (the ECAM)
‐ FMA interface to provide Guidance targets and information to monitor the AFS/FD
? A Forward Facing Cockpit Layout with "Lights out" or "Dark Cockpit" concept assisting the crew to properly control the various aircraft systems.
The operational rules applicable to these specific features are given in the other sections of this chapter.
OPERATIONAL GOLDEN RULES

4. Cross check the accuracy of the FMS
5. Know your FMA at all times
6. When things don’t go as expected - take over
7. Use the proper level of automation for the task
8. Practice task sharing and back-up each other
