Hello Ruben,

I'm not on the Airbus, so I am unfamiliar with the CD for which you are
looking. However I know collins have a PC program for the FMS 4200 which
is fairly good in establishing a basic foundation for the quirks and quarks
of it's operation.

Most airlines tend to use a FTD (Fixed Training Device) for their FMS
training. However some of the corporate training centers such as
FlightSafety or Simuflite might have something.

Might I also suggest writing Airbus directly. You can reach them at;

Airbus Industrie
31707 Blagnac Cedex
France
Tel 61 93 33 33

Failing that, get a hold of the training department for United, Northwest,
or any number of the big carriers operating the Bus.

Another solution, a number of the aviation magazines such as Flying,
Business & Commercial Aviation, Pro Pilot, Flight Training, Airline Pilot,
any of which might have a ad in the classified for a third party who has
developed a software training package.

Good luck

Tim
