FlightDetent I understand what you say. On the picture I was PM and the FO wanted those 2 knots extra. Myself I also do that but usually 2 to 4 kts extra or whatever is required to lower the nose when it's sitting at 7/8 degrees pitch on A319 config 3. I do not do it all the time as like you said, I like to try different techniques. On the old A 321, The aircraft seems to respond better with those little extra. I'm really not afraid to fly close to VLS as I know it's still safe. I see some guys who do not add anything and fly at VLS +1/+2 and they manage it but I also saw some very interesting landings. Were they related to that? Maybe not. But from my experience, it seems it works better with that extra speed with my landing technique at least; I'm the kind of the guy who has the tendency to flare too much that not enough. So those extra knots are my best friends when I screw up and flare too much and float xD. I will accept the challenge and not add any speed to the VAPP for the next 2 months and let you know.
