It seems like 25% of the pilots I talk to don't understand what managed speed the Airbus goes to when you activate approach in the MCDU if
clean configuration. Some say Green Dot, some say VAPP.
To add to the confusion, manufacturer pubs and ground school powerpoints don't talk about it much either. Even the FCOM is lacking on this topic.

This site (indeed Flaps-1 mentioned) makes NO mention of Activating approach while clean, and instead only talks about doing it in Flaps-1:

villas and others, how do you guys explain Approach Phase and speeds. "Match the flap handle" ? etc ?
Thank you
