sprucegoose....Max Ldg Wy for the A320 =142,198 Lbs...,
Max Ldg Wt for the A319=137,780 lbs.....ref speed for for the A320 at this weight is around 137 kts....there are many variables that would change this speed..ie ground speed mini......but this would be the approx speed of the A/C....You will have to take in account the fact that after talking to his company,Mtx,and even info from Airbus,They may have landed in a different config.......the long landing would indicate,obviously not a lot of braking and or use of reverse ....also this is their 2nd issue with the nose wheel...Awa has had one(columbus,Ohio)...the problem is with the "O" ring in the centreing piston in the nose gear assembly...we currently have several AD,s on this ....after this episode..ie World Television broadcast....Airbus will want to resolve this issue once and for all......kia kaha
