There have been some very strong winds lately which have made for some interesting approaches. Just wondering what different SOP's say with regard to the above. I can think of 3 scenarios:
1 Autothrust/managed speed
2 Autothrust/Selected speed
3 Manual thrust/Selected speed
Also to continue the flap full/flap 3 debate which would be best to use with any of the above?
The reason I ask is because sometimes with managed speed/ autothrust you get very close to the flap overspeed Limitation. Also the autothrust seems to be struggling-never actually getting to its new managed target.
I know that there are protections(managed target not going into the limiting range) built in to prevent this but it doesnt look like it will sometimes!
I know it is impossible to get a definitive answer on this but I am just interested to see how other people deal with this.
Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to reply.
