This precludes G/S mini to work...
My preference would always be to use selected. G/S mini is, imho, one of the dafter ideas ever incorporated into aircraft automatics. In strong gusty conditions all it does is leave you with unwanted excess speed in the flare which alters the visual attitude, delaying the touchdown, leaves you open to overflaring and puts runway behind you. Fine if you're on a 4000m runway such as at LHR. However, on a short runway with a downsloping threshold such as ABZ 34 it is a curse.
