Flightdetent, I did not really understand but about using flaps 3 on A321 is just so much nicer than flaps full. I think any pilots who flies that type will agree. Nothing like the A320 who flies horribly nose up in conf 3 the A321 sits nicely at 1.5/2 degrees up. I always land config 3 on A321 unless tailwind and short runways but oh well in China that’s almost non existent. xD

Back on the topic: Flaps 3 max landing weight on A321 Neo will be around 153kt vapp. Faster than the A321 CEO which are Cat D In config full. Thus one of my question. How can we consider the A321 Neo a cat C aircraft when it flies much faster than some A321 cat D aircraft.
