hey!

I have another question...also 'approach target speed' related and wondering if someone could help me out.

If you're flying in strong headwind conditions it is very likely you will have a rather high target speed (the magenta bug), higher than F speed in config 2.... Flying with autothrust on...the target speed is than the magenta bug instead of F speed...correct?
But flying manual thrust...is it necessary to keep the magenta bug...or can you decelerate towards F speed...

Who can help me out?

Thanks a lot!
