So, if the displayed Vfms is Vls+3, without really knowing which is correct, why add 2 kts? Worst case it is still Vref+3.
@CheckAMN: all good until you start to develop a "long landing standard" technique. Then one day going into a short-ish place people opt for a "short landing technique" (which should have not need to exist in the first place!!!). And it scary to watch them fail their first attempt at executing what they did not practice before, and actually, they have no idea or guidance what it should be like.
But as long as the shortest LDA is 2500 m, the discussion is admittedly academic. Unless one's ready to see the broader views presented by safetypee above. Similar to going for 3 red's on the PAPIs, boss.
Well my point is that you do know which one is correct. The PFD Vls is correct. I'm not following your argument. We didn't have any short/long landing technique. As I stated before, if the runway length is limiting, I'm happy to let the Vapp sit on top of Vls. We're not going to die- mind the pitch though
