Hi Gents,

Just had my LPC/OPC & this was one of the exercises.

Not much help from the airbus texts! However here is what I learnt:

Mayday call - request long finals.

Tasks have to be split I ( f/o) / PNF was taking care of the Roll through the Side stick. Capt was taking care of speed and altitude. That was one of the combos that could work, many others out there.

A/C is easier to handle at slow speed once configured.

Configure normally, F1,F2 GD & F3.

Now for the tricky part , for the flare, at around 30-40 feet just at about 5-9% more power so that the nose will pitch up. Then reduce to idle and use the trim wheel. Once the Main gear has touched down, full reverse and both CM1 & 2 push the trim wheel forward like madmen to avoid balloning!

Hard exercise...

That my 2 cents, hope it was of some help.
