A 4 and JohnC
You have misunderstood the question. It is not induced ELEC EMER configuration due to smoke situation. It is actual ELEC EMER situation. The LAND ASAP meaning slightly differs in these two situations. In smoke Airbus is very categoric that you must be on ground in 15 mts if the issue is not resolved immediately. In that the action Consider ---Immediate Landing implies Ditching,Off airport landing, Tailwind or overweight landing. But in Actual that is Irreversible ELEC EMER it is possible to consider slightly extended flight for better weather conditions. My point is diversion has to be closer than destination and that difference in distance will look after 3% fuel.
