Took off and had 2 ECAM's for captain pitot and engine 1 reverser no other ecams. No heading commands for FD no auto pilot no auto throttle no altitude commands open com v/s or altitude alerts unable to load the approach for the first officer. tuned VOR APP. Had an airframe vibration for a minute or two slowed to 180 vibration stopped. On captain PFD kept getting symbols that you get with control check on the ground. On landing we got a third ECAM Landing Gear system. At no time did we receive an ECAM that would help us just 2 in the air then one on the ground we declared an emergency stayed close to the airport. We flew the VOR APP with manually tuned radios; as that was all we had. ILS OTS. Normal landing had trucks meet us told flight attendants and passengers.
A319 flight crew experiences ECAM's for Captain's pitot and engine 1 reverser unlocked at rotation. Many autoflight functions are not available and the crew elects to return to the departure airport. With the ILS OTS the RNAV is chosen but cannot be loaded in the FMGC. The VOR approach is then chosen and tuned on the RMP's. After landing a landing gear disagree ECAM is displayed.
