"Captain Mike Ray has written about flying the Airbus 320 ... this manual, while intended specifically for the professional airline pilot, would make a terrific addition to any serious flight simmers library. It is a huge document with 400 pages of lavish full color diagrams and descriptions and accompanied by textual explanations written so that even the most unfamiliar person can become an Airbus A320 expert.

For the PROFESSIONAL AIRLINE PILOT

In the world of airline training and check, there are two separate domains. First is the "COGNITIVE" material and then thre is a separate but equally important "PSYCHO-MOTOR-SKILLS" demonstration. To the airline pilot, thrse are very familiar and go by the anmes of "ORAL EXAM" and "SIM-RIDE". Seldom are both the two different modalities into one coherent unit. This concept makes learning a new airplane and preparing for the recurrent check-ride or initial check-out far easier and more intuitive.

Captain Mike Ray's new Airbus book is exactly that integrated volume. His latest book in a serires of training materials has the long title: "The Unofficial Airbus A320 Weries Simulator and Checkride Procedures Manual." Presenting the complex material in a simple and understandable format was hi goal ... and he has achieved that and more. Every Airbus A320 pilot (or wanna-be) will benefit from reading this book. It is definitive and covers virtually every situation either directly or obliquely ... allowing the aviator access to the systems and operational subtelties that will make the check-ride go smoothly.

Captain Mike says that his intention was to give the pilot enough tools to make the Check Captian think that tey now what they are doing.

The book is titled "The Unofficial Airbus 320 Simulator Manual" and is in keeping with the other manuals Captain Mike has written. Written with the watchful guidance of an FAA A320 Check Captain at a major airline ... when completed, he remarked, 'It is a work of art!" And it is a beautiful four color offset book that is pleasing aesthetically as well as choked full of definitive technical information.
