Airbus Flex
In advance please excuse my Airbus/airline ignorance (corporate background) -
From previous posts, I find it quite eye opening that when you decide to 'flex' that you only have one option of maximum flex.
Can an A340 driver explain - for example, if you have a toga takeoff run required of 8500' and have a 12000' tora available on the day, does the A340 flex take your takeoff distance out to 12000' and/or max flex whichever is first?
Does it take you to the last brick at 35' or are there greater margins when you decide to use flex?
I take it that you don't/can't input a shorter TORA (than what is actually available) to give a greater margin yourselves?
