The book has been completely revised, significantly expanded and reorganized. It also has been included some suggestions from various forums. Emphasis was placed on the practical part, which missed out in the first edition.
Priorities of the book are handling, operating procedures and systems of the Airbus A320. The differences to the other A320 Family members (A318, A319 and A321) weren’t missed out. Side issues such as weather and navigation methods aren’t part of the book and only mentioned as far as necessary for the understanding of the respective chapter.
The base is the Microsoft Flight Simulator add-ons Airbus A318-319 and A320-A321 of Aerosoft. The themes were kept more generally, so that the book is applicable to other add-on products as well as general Airbus information.
The book focuses at flight simulator enthusiasts, not professional pilots or those who want to become ones. It describes the most important procedures for flight simulator pilots and provides additional information of general interest. It is not a training manual and may not be used for realism flight training.
