Week 76: A320 Type Rating Week 15

11 days of not flying has caused me and my partner to be very rusty in our SOPs and much prompting was needed from our instructor. That caused us to be very inefficient in getting the plane lifted off to proceed with the training flight.

Lesson plan was the same as the previous sim session with a NDB CANPA approach plus Go-Around procedure. One thing we learnt today was that there are two ways to key in the next waypoint we want to fly to.

#1 is through the DIR button which we key in the waypoint into the Direct To bracket
#2 is through the F-PLN button which we input the next waypoint into the middle of the whole flight plan.

Of course both ways produce different outcome in the way the FMGS interpret the info. At my current stage of training, I'm still unable to tell the exact difference.
