A330 dual hydraulic failure

Good afternoon chaps;

I have been studying the new In Flight Performance section of the QRH, in particular I have paid special attention to the VAPP and landing distances calculations with failures.

At a first glance, I thought these calculations would be easier, however i'm having touble understanding certain calculations.

Let me set an example:

Imagine we suffer a dual hydraulic failure, G+B for instance, lets say that a dual leak has occured after takeoff performed using CONF 2.

According to the FCOM APPR PROC, flaps 2 will be used, and because s=2, APPR SPD will be VLS+10. This is where I get confused.

According to the new section added in the back of the FCTM, (LANDING PERFORMANCE - VAPP DETERMINATION WITH FAILURES) after using the matrix to asses the rwy condition, a VAPP and landing distance is extracted from the appropriate table. This section also states that certain procedures require the VLS to be incremented, this appears to be such a case.

However, the new IFL charts include delta VREF and landing distances for this very same failure.

The question is, what should I choose? Must I wait for the flaps to be extended and add 10kts to the VLS? Perhaps I should use the speeds extracted from the charts?

This speed calculation part is quite frankly getting on my nerves!

Some help would be ever so appreciated.

Happy landings to all.
