Airbus bank vs Maneuvering speeds
By definition maneuvering speeds protect from stick shaker in current configuration in 15° banks adding a 25° overbank protection.
1-Is there then a reason why FCOM defines Vapp as a maneuvering speed? For sure it's lower than Vstall (or stick shaker) at 40° bank (15+25).
2-Why in HDG lateral mode FD commands 25° bank below maneuvering speeds? I suppose that in a manual flight with no FD an instructor wouldn't be happy to see a guy banking 25° below maneuvering speeds...
all comments appreciated..
