The purpose of this Aviation Information Services (AIS) LLC website is to help Airbus A320/A330/A340 pilots connect to the Red Triangle Productions (RTP) LLC company web site to enable the pilot to find the A320/A330/A340 training materials and study guides. These superlative A320/A330/A340 CBT digital pilot handbooks are trademarked as Visual Oral Switch-Light Guides (VOSLG). Every pilot assigned to fly the A320/A330/A340 will need to understand how all the cockpit lights and switches work, and how all the airplane systems operate. Since 1999 Red Triangle Productions LLC has created the most unique and innovative switch-light guides and system study guides ever seen in aviation. Pilots in over 500 airlines, companies, agencies, associations and governments around the world use these Airbus A320/A330/A340 training guides. Some of these aviation organizations are: all the legacy airlines, FAA, NASA, IATA, JAA, and all major international flag carriers. Many flight schools use these A320/A330/A340 system training and cockpit panel study guides. RTP specializes in creating downloads which use Information Mapping™ to facilitate easy assimilation of the required knowledge. They are all immediately available at:
These interactive A320/A330/A340 CBT (Computer Based Training) light-switch guides with hyperlinks to and from the associated Airbus A320/A330/A340 airplane system diagrams, schematics and synoptics, provide all the necessary information for successful pilot training in an A320/A330/A340 initial ground school, Airbus A320/A330/A340 recurrent training, A320/A330/A340 simulator and A320/A330/A340 Type Ratings. Go to You Tube, www.youtube.com and type in “rtpllc” to see videos of how the downloads work.
Airbus began as a consortium of aerospace manufacturers, Airbus Industrie. Consolidation of European defense and aerospace companies in 1999 and 2000 allowed the establishment of a simplified joint-stock company in 2001, owned by EADS (80%) and BAE Systems (20%). After a protracted sales process BAE sold its shareholding to EADS on 13 October 2006.
Airbus
employs around 52,000 people at sixteen sites in four European Union countries:
Airbus Industrie was formally established as a Groupement d'Interet Économique
(Economic Interest Group or GIE) on 18 December 1970. It had been formed by a government initiative
between
The Airbus A300 was to be the first aircraft to be developed, manufactured and marketed by Airbus. In 1972, the A300 made its maiden flight and the first production model, the A300B2 entered service in 1974. By 1979 the consortium had 256 orders for A300, and Airbus had launched a more advanced aircraft, the A310, in the previous year. It was the launch of the A320 in 1981 that guaranteed the status of Airbus as a major player in the aircraft market – the aircraft had over 400 orders before it first flew.
Then in 2000 three of the four partner companies (DaimlerChrysler Aerospace, successor to Deutsche Airbus; Aérospatiale-Matra, successor to Sud-Aviation; and CASA) merged to form EADS, simplifying the process. EADS now owned Airbus France, Airbus Deutschland and Airbus España, and thus 80% of Airbus Industrie. BAE Systems and EADS transferred their production assets to the new company, Airbus SAS, in return for shareholdings in that company.
In mid-1988 a group of Airbus engineers led by Jean Roeder began
working in secret on the development of an ultra-high-capacity airliner, to
complete with of the Boeing B747. The
first A380 was unveiled at a ceremony in
The A350 is intended to compete with the Boeing B787. Any guess on what the A370 will be?
The A320/A330/A340 VOSLG flows in the pattern of the typical FAA (JAA) Oral Exam that follows an initial ground school and Type Rating. We only teach what is essential. We spoon feed you only the necessary stuff. We don’t explain how the A320/A330/A340 lavatory flushes the water. A320/A330/A340 FAA Orals usually don’t ask about Flight Attendant galley fixtures. We don’t want you to have to “unmemorize” anything, either. Every airline has their own set of A320/A330/A340 checklist flows, policies, procedures, & memory items – we don’t teach it and wouldn’t be able to stay up with the changes.
The Airbus A320/A330/A340 interactive downloads are created for the pilot in the cockpit, not in the classroom. We show you how to command and master the A320/A330/A340.
The VOSLGs were created using the Information Mapping™ technical writing style. And they are in COLOR. This is so much better than black and white pilot handbooks, ground school documents, and flight school aircraft operating manuals. Many ground schools use old photocopied manuals passed down from and through several faded editions. The VOSLG greatly eases and facilitates the learning and understanding of the large volume of data and information the pilot must master… and you will Master it.
Near every cockpit item is a RED TRIANGLE. There is no need to even click on an item. Just put your mouse near the RED TRIANGLE and a pop-up appears explaining why the light illuminates (in COLOR) and the switch’s function.
Many training departments use lengthy modular slides shows, some with voice-overs and recordings that cannot be silenced nor allow fast forwarding. And you cannot just go back any specific item without going through the modules and subsets of chapters. Not so in the VOSLGs: everything is about one or two clicks away. And all the data is repeated in every related place. To the LEFT of a cockpit switch panel are the pop-ups explaining those associated aircraft systems. To the RIGHT of the panel are hyperlinks to the respective diagrams and schematics. The A320/A330/A340 System descriptions are repeated everywhere so you do not have to hunt for the information you need. Everything where you might logically think to find and want it!! Hyperlinks are everywhere & to anywhere. Everything that is related is connected: between panels, diagrams & schematics, and synoptics. All data is interlaced. No more searching for that single sentence about a critical item of knowledge. All the Information is Mapped.
The upper left corner of every sheet has a direct link to the Table
of Contents (TOC). Everything is
available at the TOC. But when in the
cockpit areas, to get to a System, just to the right of the cockpit panel, are
the associated hyperlinks to the respective diagrams and schematics. In many of the Systems we illustrate numerous
situations. We show all known
And you can go in reverse. Thus, from any diagram and schematic there are reverse links to any and all related cockpit switch panels and synoptic displays. Everything is in COLOR, too!
In fact, one Testimonial says: "I'm in the middle of my little bus Initial at US Air and the three weeks I studied with your program before I went to school made all the difference in the world.... I'm home on the breaks relaxing while my 3 other classmates are still in CLT banging their heads. Thanks for a great program!" -- C. H.

Ground school and initial training, recurrent training and Type Ratings
are stressful. We remove all the
unnecessary pressure.
We are pilots - we know what you need. Slide rule engineers with pocket-protectors are reluctantly forced at some point in production to write down “how it works” for you, the A320/A330/A340 pilot, who will need to fly it. They might understand a bunch of Greek symbols on their calculators and have memorized the tenth digit of π, but they make a mess of it telling you, “the switch on the panel switches on the pump and the light is on when the pump is off unless you turned the pump off, or had a switch fault, or an over temperature and/or under pressure pump condition(s) that existed at the time a transfer of power interrupted the automatic shut down of the pump through the alternate command override except on <insert some tail numbers here> when greater than -40°C and not in ground effect.” And they throw in a bunch of acronyms derived from a translation of a foreign language with a different alphabet. These mysteries you might find (maybe) in various chapters, or in front of the manual, or after the index, or anywhere, or nowhere. Now you’re confused. Suddenly, you’re half way through ground school and you were hoping to catch up on yesterday’s confusing material, and complete that reading assignment from two days ago, and complete tomorrow’s chapters…. We know the feeling. We put all the Acronyms in one easy place, and always identify them up front and first in the pop-ups.
Information Mapping™ teaches data at several level of learning simultaneously. We use literary techniques and presentation methods that facilitate understanding in the conscious and subconscious.
