Hi all,
At the airline I work we started operating A320 NEOs with PW engines a few months ago and I noticed that they have a much lower approach speed in CONF FULL than the CEOs we operate (MNSs 7500/8800 with, as I understand, the same wing). What's the reason for such a change? I
Thinking a little deeper the Neo sharklet effectively increases wing span which should reduce the Vs1g leading to reduction in 1.23Vs1g which is Vref. But CEO with or without sharklets seems to be treated as same. As even in GSmini the Neo increase in IAS is only 1/3rd of the ∆wind but in CEO it's 100%.
