The unique Airbus common cockpit originated with the A320 and its pioneering introduction of digital fly-by-wire controls.

Similar handling qualities provided with fly-by-wire, along with the identical cockpits and operating procedures were applied to all of the A320 Family’s versions. Pilots are ableto fly the A318, A319, A320 and A321 with only a single type rating.

As the family grew Airbus developed the possibility to do so for pilots transitioning from one Airbus type to another via difference training instead of a full type course.

The transition training from A320 Family aircraft to the A380 takes 15 working days, whilst a pilot with no Airbus fly-by-wire experience requires 24 working days to complete the A380 type rating course. These time savings lead to lower training costs for airlines and considerably increased crew productivity. The annual savings in training and payroll costs through improved productivity from the reduced transition time can be up to$300,000 for each new aircraft added to the fleet.
