Hi Fellows,
I`m flying the 320 and use to land at LPMA(Funchal, Madeira Is) known by extreme turbulent approaches.
It`s recommended by the company the use of flaps 3 in order to decrease drag and give you more thrust available and the use of managed speed.
Actually in turbulent conditions I really use flaps 3 BUt A/THR OFF and VLS+5.
Of corse it makes your landing run a bit longer but if you touch down where you want you just go a little bit harder on brakes.
The other problem I see in Airbuses that I have never felt in other acft`s is the low responde of flight controls.In extreme conditions they are really slow.
I have never flown other acft where I so often need to take the controls to te stop (extreme conditions).
Normal law at the 320 gives you a roll rate of 25º/s
Maarcel Dassault is now lunching a new Falcon with fly-by-wire and its roll rate is 40º/s.
Seems much more reasonable...
