With everyone currently interested in Microsoft Flight Simulator, I thought it would be an interesting challenge to try to explain as much as I could in 12 minutes or less! A lot was glossed over and a few things were funky, but this should give someone a reasonable idea of basic A320 Systems.

It is important to note that while I do give a brief systems description of each panel within the aircraft, this is not an exhaustive lesson on any one system. I would gladly made a video if there is enough support for such an in-depth topic.

If you're wondering why the engine shouldn't have shut down after turning off the inner wing tank pumps, it would be because the A320 has a "suction valves," which allow the aircraft to feed fuel in the event the fuel pumps are inoperable.
