"The last time I checked the A/THR system will allow you to select a speed all the way down to Vls....Hence why it's called "V Lowest Selected" speed. "

Sorry oceanic, I failed to point out I meant with managed speed, i.e. "normally" To wit, A/Thr and FMGC wont let you do it when they are flying the jet.

Flightdetent, "OTOH 25 kts below green dot would put you well below Vls and maybe below Aprot (my guess), so quite a different cup of tea." was pulling numbers from out of nowhere but a green dot of say 210 usually shows a Vls of about 180, i.e. still gives you a 5 knot margin above Vls and is "ok" as far as bus is concerned.

Thanks for the replies folks.
