A320 Flight Warning Computer Overview

The document discusses a failure of both Flight Warning Computers (FWC) 1 and 2. This triggers an alert and requires the crew to follow procedures in the Quick Reference Handbook, including potentially resetting FWC 1. It outlines checklist steps for the crew to fly the plane, navigate on their flight plan route, and communicate with ATC and the company. The crew must monitor systems and make decisions about their destination based on factors like fuel status and nearest suitable airports for landing.
