- • Determine the cutback height (above 800 ft)
- Adapt the climb rating (in respect to ICAO recommendations quoted above)
- Tune the VZF (for NADP 2) (S Speed in Airbus Lingo)
So basically, who checks the "strict adherance" to a NADP? In my airline, on the 320, which I dont operate at the moment, we don't modify the FMGC to climb with S speed to 3000 feet
Somehow we have got away with that
I guess for fuel economy its the best to be done and accelerate to enroute climb speed as soon as possible?
