Hi
Thanks for all the replies.
The main reason I asked this question is because I myself have had a few "interesting" expereinces on the "bus" where g/s mini was a factor.
A couple of weeks ago I was making an approach to XXX. The wind on the ATIS at TOD was 250/8 and the runway in use was 24. We turned onto the Localiser just as some weather was passing through the airfield. We were both busy on the latter stages of the approach. We started to experience strong turbulence and the surface wind started to increase with gusts. Several wind checks from ATC during the approach gave surface winds of up to 260/32. I guess the average wind was probably around 260/20 (ish). To cut a long story short, I didn't update the surface wind on the PERF page of the FMGC. The result was a very high approach speed (well above VLS). As we crossed the threshold the aeroplane ballooned. We managed to get a landing out of it but it was all a bit hairy!
Moral of the story : update the FMGC PERF APP page for large changes in surface wind!
Has anyone else had any similar exeriences?
