""Not at all dear girl... F2 is slats and flaps at position 2, Flaps 1+F is slats and flaps at position 1+F...
Quite a difference I assure you. (Assuming 320 is like my 330 and 340 of course""
Yes, I know, my point though poorly written was that when you are in G/A and you get to the stage of retracting to F1 you will in fact get F+1 and not just F1 - that is all this argument . . ., . . . discussion was about. (Note; after FO config 1+F is no longer available until the airspeed is 100kts or less)
.I don`t mind a discussion or argument - it hacks me off though when it is one of an obvious critical time in the duration of the flight, but there you go - I always was overseriousflyme..
We all got fixated anyway - the question was of an overweight G/A.
Overweight landing in an A320 is no big deal - and you are within your MTOW for your recent T/O so a G/A. overweight. is not going to present any significant problem.
Unless, of course you T/O at a cold and sea level field and you fly to a warm hi field in short time - unlikely - but not impossible. The Andes come to mind or Ulaambutar, whereby you would simply re-access the WAT, but you knew that already - right? Is all in the books/QRH, etc.
(J.T. Had it in a nutshell and was spot on).
