Airbus A319 Multiple Electrical Failure

While in the cruise, with the autopilot and autothrust systems engaged, a failure of the electrical system occurred which caused numerous aircraft systems to become degraded or inoperative. Some of the more significant effects were that the A319 could only be flown manually, all the aircraft’s radios became inoperative and the Captain’s electronic flight instrument displays blanked. Attempts by the flight crew to reconfigure the electrical system proved ineffective and the aircraft systems remained in a significantly degraded condition for the remainder of the flight, making operation of the aircraft considerably more difficult. The flight crew were unable to contact air traffic control for the rest of the flight. The aircraft landed uneventfully with the radios and several other systems still inoperative.
