How can you still state so after you've finally acknowledged the exception under selected speed ... ?
CONF iture and Cak if PNF forgets to press second time how do you know it is activated?
One way to be sure, if willing to, is to check which PERF page is actually active on MCDU.
But hitting managed speed later in the approach will tell the story, and a chance to still activate the approach phase if missed earlier.
That exactly my point that it is useless to activate in select speed
That is an uninformed comment.
If I understand it correctly, you are strictly a simulator instructor with no experience of real flying, at least on the Airbus ... ?
