Fursty Ferret I've read somewhere that even on the A320 series, flare mode is a direct stick-to-elevator relationship? Is this correct?
What is the reason that Airbus decided to activate the flare law at 100' for NEOs instead of 50? Some people answered me its due to the aerodynamics of the bigger nacelle/heavier weight.
I'm not yet that experienced but I know that continous descent is preferred with thrust idle if able, this guy keeps switching between VS, DES, and OP DES in a time table of 10s. One time engine spooled up cause we were on OP DES and he selected a V/S of +500, this was on descent. I cant help but shake my head.
meleagertoo I heard Airbus is against the "autocratic" cockpit and this can be evidenced by whats written on the manuals itself. Is Boeing philosophy the same?
Uplinker Have you ever had an incident where the programmed GS mini was insufficient and you had to add kts?
