Every phase for the Airbus A330-200 / -300, as flown in a flight simulator — panel scans marked as flows, read-and-respond cards marked as checklists. Open the interactive version to tick lines off, fill in your speeds and keep your place between sessions.
-200 — Shorter body, more range, taller fin. Trim tank fitted — expect aft transfer in cruise.
-300 — The stretch. Same cockpit and the same flows; only the performance numbers move.
-200F — Freighter. Nose gear fairing changes the ground attitude, procedures do not.

A freighter's CG range is wider than the passenger version's and the load is not self-loading. Check the trim setting against the load sheet, not against habit.

Big fan, slow spool — a long, lazy start compared with an A320. Watch for a stagnating N2 and rising EGT.
