Yeah. Just as a reminder: On the old aircraft VLS displayed on PFD is based on the AOA sensor ( reality) versus VAPP calculated by the FMS based on the figures inserted from the load sheet ( not very accurate eg: Assuming 75kg for adult uh huh ) If VAPP is less than 5kt from the VLS, it means the aircraft is heavier than we (FMS) think we are, like Check Airman mentioned. I also like to keep 5kt rom VLS. Give you a nice margin in case you flare too high.
