Thanks amsm01,

It’s not coupled to the WS system but no, it wouldn’t do much here.
I was thinking along the lines a reactive WS would require manual intervention at least, while a managed speed approach may give as little as Vls + 5 kts. if the actual wind were not as strong. It’s quite a contrast coming off the Boeing where turbulence rather than wind speed would be the prime driver for adding a few extra knots. I know it’s not exactly what the book says, but your bum does. It gave better prodection against sinkers like this.

​​​​​​​Nice recovery after all!
