YES!
Airbus charts show the balance between two limitations as a result of the optimization. So you could end up with these...
1.2 Structural Weight and 2nd Segment
2.2 2nd segment or 1st segment limitations for minimum V2/VS ratio
2.3 2nd segment or 1st segment limitations and runway limitation.
2.4 2nd segment or 1st segment limitations and obstacle limitation.
2.5 2nd segment or 1st segment limitations and tire speed limitation.
2.6 2nd segment or 1st segment limitations and brake energy limitation.
3.3 Runway limitation for the minimum V2/VS ratio.
4.4 Obstacle Limitation.
5.5 Tyre speed limitation for the maximum V2/VS ratio
6.6 Brake energy limitation for the maximum V2/VS ratio.
But the purpose of showing you the two charts was just to let you see the difference between using optimized vspeeds and a fixed ratio.
The increased weight capability with the higher V-speeds can also be converted into a greater thrust reduction.
As for your question,
Do Airbus not consider these speeds an increased risk? Would any Airbus drivers care to answer this?
