The new system is extremely easy and if you're not sure of the braking action there is a very easy table in the QRH. Everything is now standard Airbus. Lawyers have put an end to airlines doing there own thing and for this particular thing I agree. Before it was a dogs breakfast to the point a in-flight landing performance wasn't even required most of the time.
Ah yes, I know the chart you’re talking about.
I can’t say I was involved in setting up Flysmart in my company, so I’m not 100% sure how they did it. But I do know that it was different between 2 companies I’ve worked for, and apparently it’s just a matter of selecting certain things in the background before the end users (us) see it.
