Airbus and easyJet Notes (paperback)

The Quick Reference v1.7.2, the Non-Normal Notes v3.2.1 and the EOM Summary v3.2 combined into a 285 page paperback. This edition was released on 12th August 2024.

At the request of my employer, these notes are now only available to easyJet employees, and only available in book form.

The book costs £19.99 (or €23.99), not including delivery. It is printed on demand by Lulu at either their UK or French facility. Lulu is also responsible for securely handling payment and arranging delivery.

To request a link to the ordering page, please email me at hursts.org+book@gmail.com from your easyjet.com email address.

All Engine Failure Training Tool

This is an installable web application for exploration of energy management and navigational strategy following failure of all engines on an Airbus A320. It should work with any modern web browser.

A background information document is available. This discusses the inferences used in the creation of the flight model and my personal strategies.

Discretion Calculator

An installable web application providing an extremely streamlined calculator to determine latest UTC on blocks time for easyJet pilots and cabin crew operating under the UK AOC FTL scheme. Just enter five digits, where the first four digits are your UTC report time and the fifth digit is the number of sectors.

Note that George Botley’s excellent “Orange Toolkit” will give you the same information using a more traditional interface, which you may prefer.
