What PAT was

The Flying Engineer was pleased to announce the launch of Project Airbus Tech (PAT). It was a project for Airbus A320 flight crew that gave quick access to technical questions and answers about the aircraft.

PAT was meant as a social cause within the aviation community: to make flying safer and to make information accessible, accurate and easy to absorb. It could be used anywhere and at any time, even by a pilot sitting in the crew transport who wanted to brush up on a technical detail of the aircraft.

Where the content came from

Great care was taken to source the material only from the FCOMs, and the content was checked and cross checked by experienced line A320 pilots. A project like this took a lot of work, so contributions, suggestions and any help were always welcome.

How to reach it

PAT lived under the Projects section of the site, at theflyingengineer.com/projects/, and directly at theflyingengineer.com/projects/airbus-tech/.

We asked for patience as the site slowly but surely worked through every technical topic and system on the Airbus A320.
