Highly detailed and fully defined. A great resource of information.

Airbus A320

Flight Deck Panels:
The A320 entered service in 1988, providing a new level of cabin comfort and flexibility in the 150 seat category.

Today, the A320 has become Airbus Industrie's best selling aircraft -- with over 1,100 on order and some 690 in service. Typically seating 150 passengers in a two-class cabin, the A320 is capable of flying non-stop for up to 5,500 km./3,000 naut. mi.

320 ExteriorAnother development of the A320 aircraft family is the shortened-fuselage A319 derivative, which entered airline service in 1996 with Swissair, powered by CFM International CFM56 engines. The A319 is seven fuselage frames shorter than the basic A320, and seats 124 passengers in a typical two-class cabin layout. Maximum range is 6,500 km./3,500 naut. mi.

Featuring the same cockpits and handling qualities, pilots trained to fly the A319 are also qualified to fly the A320 single-aisle aircraft as the result of common type-ratings. Meanwhile, the same airframe and on-board systems mean that the aircrafts can be maintained by the same mechanics.
