Authors notes:

These notes are not intended to be a comprehensive look at every aspect of the A319/320/321. I only intend them to cover the basics. They assume an already high level of experience with advanced aircraft systems. I hope they help in studying for initial or recurrent or as a quick reference during line operations. They are written from the viewpoint of a US Airways line pilot because that is who I am. I have included what I find helpful. If you find something that you feel should be included or corrected please let me know as I am always seeking to “improve the product”.
