A320 Flap 2 and speed selected
Hi everybody
As a passenger, loving A320, I usually see as a common procedure setting flap2 just before GS. In that moment do you select speed? 170 to 5 miles then gear down or 160 to 4?
Cheers

In the London area they tend to give those speeds restrictions to you anyway when being vectored. 160 to 4 is common, and at my company this is flown Flaps 2, starting the gear down process between 5 and 4nm. Of course if there is a strong tailwind on the approach, sod ATC, and start the configuring earlier.

Hi guys. When do you decide to put gear down?
