since were talking about flaps, does landing in config3 really improve handling in gusty approaches too?
It used to be a recommended procedure per the OEB, now there is no such mention (updated ELAC software?). Some people still like to choose Conf 3 for strong crosswind, pilot preference.
While we're on the subject, any comments on Flaps 3 with no gear? Sometimes it really feels like the perfect solution, ie 150kts assigned, on the glideslope, 15 miles out.
Works well.
