This A350 study guide is not a regulatory approved manual, but a guide to help with understanding the Airbus A350 versus rote memorization. Today aircraft operators and regulatory agencies alike do not require pilots to understand their aircraft but simply expect them to memorize which buttons to push. Not unlike Boeing that opted to not even tell pilots about the MCAS system or the LRD (load reduction device), these omissions have caused catastrophic outcomes. When you understand, you remember. This guide will help enhance your understanding.

The best pilots can do is to take it upon themselves to learn their aircraft systems with a level of understanding so when asked, “what’s it doing now?” they will have an answer. This manual provides Airbus depictions, because a picture is worth a thousand words. But the text is something that I rewrote in my voice with further clarity. Some facts are what they are. But if
understanding is absent, memorizing those facts will not help when you must recall the information at the worst possible time. This is a supplement to your training. Follow your company approved manuals but use this to manual to gain a full understanding. As identified in my doctoral research, presented in the book, Normalization of Deviance a Threat to Aviation Safety, your life could depend upon it.ic outcomes. When you understand, you remember. This guide will help enhance your understanding.
