The A320 was the first civil airliner to include a full digital fly-by-wire flight control system. Its design also included a full glass cockpit rather than the hybrid versions found in previous airliners. Digital head-up displays are available.
The A320's flight deck is equipped with Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) with side stick controllers. At the time of the aircraft's introduction, the behaviour of the fly-by-wire system (equipped with full flight envelope protection) was a new experience for many pilots. The A320 features an Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitor (ECAM) which gives the flight crew information about all the systems of the aircraft. With the exception of the very earliest A320s, most can be upgraded to the latest avionics standards, keeping the aircraft advanced even after two decades in service.

Roebuck Estate, developed by private owners of the Broome Airport. They closed the cross runway to do the development, using the material in the extension of the main runway towards Cable Beach. The approach for all flights is over water, Cable Beach from the West and Roebuck Bay from the East. Aerial View, May 3, 2016. G1X5678
