The FAC computed speeds are only accurate to 3kts so there is no need to get `overanxious` about preserving the Vapp / Vls 5kt gap! In fact with manual thrust there is not even the requirement to add the 5kts - Vls is quite acceptable. The 5kt increment comes from the autoland and ATHR use requirements.
