The best A320 oral prep I know of. Significantly helped me pass my A320 Type.

Note to all new aviators watching this - this is a fantastic study guide, but terrible form for an actual oral exam. Say as little as you need to. The more you offer up, the more you can potentially mess up, and open up a can of worms. If at all possible, if you can answer with a simple “yes” or “no,” do that!

[@TheSkysnake]

Can’t disagree with that advice! I suspect these guys are both check airman doing a “mock” oral for training purposes. Nevertheless, you are correct. If the check airman asks you what time it is, give him the time. Don’t build the clock! :)

[@rayharkins14]

I have only watched 20 mins so far and am highly impressed. Great oral. Thank you for the video!

It might be dated material, but the information is still pretty relevant to the airplane.

[@mmfaves]

For a hairdresser, “frosted tips”/boyband does ok on his systems imho

[@johnvanderlip]

Wow, this is thorough. I noticed at around 35 minutes a possible error. SRS commands V2 or current speed but no greater than V2+15 according to the FCOM I’m referencing.

[@ahmadtheaviationlover1937]

V2 or v1 which ever comes first implements the SRS which commands 10kts plus or minus providing the speed needed in case of engine failure after v1 or v2. It has a maximum of 15kts max to prevent it from exceeding certain parameters such as the green dot speed where the lift coefficient is at its maximum

[@chizzo777]

V2+25 AEO V2+15 OEI.

[@igomil]

Great job! Learned a lot. This is my 9th and hopefully last type rating. It takes me back to interrogation style orals from back in the day. Thanks!

Excelent video, dont complain about the quality, this was filmed probably in 1995 or 96 after United got their A320s....

[@ahmadtheaviationlover1937]

There’s soo much things to learn! I know only most of it like v speeds but the colouring it’s the confusing part

[@ahmadtheaviationlover1937]

The confusing part was the SRS speed indications When on VMAX the speed is limited to plus or minus 6kts When on VMO the speed is limited to plus or minus 10kts And the climb rate of the speed tape on the pfd is 2kts per second

[@VergilAckerman]

[@Jon-l6s9d]

Very useful video, but I’ve found an error… When high speed protection is active the bank angle is limited to 40° not 45°. If angle-of-attack protection is active (low speed protection) then the bank angle will not go beyond 45°. Maybe this was different when the video was made though! 13:34

@@Jim-un1zg Are you allowed to use manuals during the oral (QRH, FCOM's, procedures)? Or are you expected to know it all from memory? thx in advance!

Depends on the carrier using appendix H or AQP. Appendix H usually requires more knowledge without the use of manuals.

Thats cause that Fault light doesn't tell you what it's shut down for (could be many things) just that it has auto shut down. So there's no way of him knowing why it shut down.

Damm, how many hours do you have in ms flight sim. Joking…. Very well done

[@Turbojets_Channel]

I can answer my own question with why the bloke is saying AUTOTHROTTLE. This is prime material for evidence that people don't like change. This video must have been shot shortly after United began their Airbus operations. Pilots, as we are, don't want to go against the law of primacy, so the douche examiner is hard-wired to say Autothrottle despite Mr. Two-tone insisting on saying the correct AutoThrust.
