What the Airbus A320 - CEO type training covers

The Airbus A320 Current Engine Option (CEO) covers the A319, A320 and A321 — the original CFM56-5B and IAE V2500 powered members of the single-aisle family that has been the backbone of short- and medium-haul fleets worldwide. This question bank follows the structure of an A320 type-rating and continuation-training course, organised by ATA chapter so revision maps directly onto how the aircraft documentation and the type course itself are laid out.

Coverage spans the full airframe and systems syllabus: air conditioning and pressurisation, autoflight, communications and navigation, electrical and hydraulic power, flight controls and the fly-by-wire architecture, fuel, ice and rain protection, landing gear, the pneumatic and bleed-air system, and the structural chapters. The powerplant chapters address the CFM56-5B and V2500 installations, their indicating systems, starting and controls.

Each chapter is a self-contained set of multiple-choice questions with explanations, suitable for initial type-rating exam preparation or recurrent knowledge checks.

Sample questions below are drawn live from the Airbus A320 - CEO question bank of 4 451 questions across 43 ATA chapters. The full timed practice quiz is per-chapter and needs an active subscription.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Airbus A320 type rating?
The A320 type rating is the aircraft-specific authorisation that lets a licensed engineer or pilot work on or fly the Airbus A320 family (A319, A320, A321 CEO). For Part66 maintenance engineers it sits on top of a Category B1.1 or B2 licence and is normally earned through a Part-147-approved A320 type-training course, with a theoretical exam followed by on-the-job training.
Which EASA Part66 licence categories cover A320 maintenance?
Mechanical work (structures, powerplant, hydraulic, fuel etc.) sits under Category B1.1 (turbine aeroplanes). Avionic work (autoflight, comms/nav, instruments, electrical) sits under Category B2. The A320 type-rating exam content is split along the same ATA boundaries and most engineers hold either B1.1 or B2 plus the A320 type endorsement on the back of their licence.
Does the question bank cover both CFM56-5B and IAE V2500 engines?
Yes. Powerplant ATA chapters (70 series) include questions for both options — the CFM56-5B fitted to a large proportion of the fleet and the IAE V2500 fitted to many A319/A320/A321 operators. Where a question is engine-specific the option is identified in the stem so you can focus on the variant relevant to your fleet.
Are A319 and A321 covered, or only the A320?
All three CEO variants — A319, A320 and A321 — share the same EASA type rating and the same type-rating course content, so the question bank covers them collectively. Differences in dimensions, payload and a few system details (landing gear, APU bleed routing on the A321, etc.) are noted in the appropriate ATA chapters.
How is the A320 question bank organised?
Questions are split by ATA chapter (the same chapter-numbering used in the maintenance documentation and in the type-training course). You can take any chapter as a stand-alone timed practice, retake as often as you need, and the platform tracks weak areas across attempts so revision time is focused where it matters most.
Can I use this to prepare for the official A320 type-rating exam?
These questions are written in the same multiple-choice style as the official type-rating theoretical exam and the practice is timed so you build the right pace. Coverage follows the EASA Part66 / Part-147 syllabus for the A320 type rating. The actual exam is sat at your Part-147 training organisation; this site is a self-study tool, not an authorised exam centre.
