Notice: I flew my last flight with the company on January 9, 2019 (Click here to see "Sanford's Last Trip"). I am now officially retired and have moved back to PIT. I've been running Airbusdriver for the past two decades now, and many have asked if I'm planning to continue hosting the website in retirement. The answer is Yes ... IF I can get continued support from you line pilots. Without your Intel Reports I will be flying blind, so it's up each and every one of you to provide your input. I won't be getting company messages regarding changes to the A320 training any longer, so I'll need a tipoff from you when they do occur so I can adjust things accordingly. Thanks again to those of you who provided support all these years ...

The past 10 years I have been mentoring several young pilots who want to be in YOUR shoes someday. I will continue this path in retirement as it has been very rewarding watching their progress while they learn how to fly! In addition to ground school and instructing, I would like to help these motivated students financially as well. Do you remember back in the day when you started flight training? This is where you come in ... from this point forward I have started an Airbusdriver Scholarship Fund and will use all future Tin Cup donations to assist these young aviators fulfill their dreams. It is my way of giving back after 52 great years of flying. Someday these kids are going to be in your right seat, so please help me help them out by contributing to the Tin Cup fund!

OVERVIEW

The training focus of this site is for the Airbus A319/320/321 series aircraft CQ. I have included the Simulator Callouts and Approach Briefing Guide, Type Rating Oral Guide, and CQ Scenarios. There are also several study aids available. 

For those of you who would like to begin preparation in advance of training (highly recommended!) I would recommend reading both OM I and II, as well as utilizing the resources on the company website.

Quite a few individuals have requested a section dedicated to techniques related to flying the Airbus, so that is now incorporated within the site. If you have any items of interest you think would be beneficial to the group please don't hesitate to forward it for posting. If you prefer, it can be implemented in an anonymous manner. There is also an Airbus Boot Camp page with answers to questions sent in from pilots on the line.

The concept here is a two way street. You will have access to the latest set of material at all times. When you're up for a pending checkride, just check here to determine if you have the latest set of Guides and the current CQ scenario. If not, feel free to download the most current set. In return, if you would be kind enough to relay any pertinent information relating to your CQ checkride back to me, we can disseminate this information for the benefit of all. In addition, any constructive comments or criticisms would be appreciated. Please report any errors or updates that you find. If you think additional information would be beneficial, let me know. Send any links to other websites you think we should add to the site.

Happy Contrails ...
