How to deal with the OEBs 20 OLM FBW 2006
The flight crew must review all OEBs applicable to the aircraft. The flight crew must paid a particular attention to the red OEBs, and more particularly to the red OEBs that must be applied before the ECAM procedure.
The list of applicable OEB is part of the technical status of the aircraft

The SOP 3.03.02 “Technical condition of the aircraft” and the FCTM will be amended:
Tomorrow
To ease this task, he can refer to the list of applicable OEBs in the QRH section 6 that identifies the OEB color and if the OEB procedure deviates from the ECAM procedure and/or STATUS

When necessary, Airbus issue OEBs and develop necessary action plan
High Airbus activity to cancel OEBs:
At development level
To establish an OEB review with the Airlines
For tracking SB retrofit
Airbus strongly recommends using the OEB reminder function
