A320 Overweight landing

Hi Guys,

With most emergencies I have been trained to use 'Landing Distance Config FULL without AutoBrake' and then apply the LD factor for the failure from QRH 2.32.

scenario:
after you take off a PAX has emergency situation and requires to get medical emergency immediately on the ground. You are heavy and considerably above the MLW. You check the overweight Landing Procedure in QRH 2.25 and you see you are above 'Max weight for go-around CONF 3'. Therefore as it states, you must shoot the approach in CONF 3 and go around in CONF 1+F. There are no aircraft defects.

Therefore as i understand in emergencies when we need to calculate landing distance we use 'L/D Conf Full without AB' and then apply failure factor. But in this case 1). There is no failure factor to add and 2). We will be in Conf 3. Therefore do we apply 'LD Config 3 w/out AB' instead?

If someone could just advise me on how to perform accuaretly the landing distance calculation and VAPP calculation for this case.

Many thanks,

C4
