Corrections for config full yet land in 3
. added aaaaaageeees later . . y`know, it is easy to work out your landing distances corrections going through the manual and/or QRH, but it is confusing to look up a Full configuration figure (which would imply loadsa lift and slower airspeed, and, and, therefore less runway or should I say LDR)) for a Config Full setting.
If the process was (AND IT IS NOT) to calc config 3 for Full then that would be logical - because you are going for a lesser performance landing 3 = faster, but less flaps, more runway to a slower, more lift, less runway configuration.
In short - do we do it this way? Calculate Config Full and then do it in Config 3? Yes.
Do we know why? Nope
but, do I know why? nope.
So, does anyone know why . . . ? pprune hmm?
Also, (completely unrelated) - some say, to look atthe ECAm warning- go to the QRH, check for exceptional . .thang and then proced with . . ECAM actions.,
. Maybe, we could do the ECAM actions and then do the exceptional thingymebob out of the QRH.
Also - ECAMs prior to T/O - if they have not been inhibited, then you are stuck with having to do it - especielly if it says something interesting like "do not TakeOff"
More stuff is not going to kill you than IS going to kill you - so at the end of the day, use your commonsense - not just ECAM procedures and or referring to the QRH but the commonsense bit, look at the aeroplane as an aeroplane and you may be able to fly it -
.all this is the price we pay for being pilots and yet taking over the duties of the Flight Engineer, which we are not, the mentality is slightly different. One cares that it works properly and the other cares only that it gets you home in one piece, this time around.
