Don't be afraid of all that complexity, most of that swithches are used sparingly or at all during each flight. The ones that get more use are the common flight controls and navigation aids (FMC, autopilot, etc...). I'm airbus 320 pilot by the way.
- ckib16 12y agoYes exactly. It's the same way in fighters. The vast majority of switches are used maybe once. There were some F-16 switches that I never touched in 11 years. In fact, some switches are actually secured with copper wire to be used only in certain emergencies. Believe me, you can handle it. IFR is all about cross-check, preparation and staying ahead of the jet. Not the number of switches available to you.
