And that a requirement for engine spool up, is a company requirement and not a requirement as
pr Airbus SOP ?
Are there any references you can refer to ?
a) No, absolutely it is not.
b) Not exactly. Airbus ask you to be at landing flap with Vapp on a 3 deg profile at 1000 ft. [FCTM NO-APPROACH GENERAL: The decelerated approach] This is not possible with engine idle, as you well know. The N1 setting are available from PEP, OCTOPUS or unreliable airspeed checklist. (*) 52 n1 is a good figure.
c) Yes; plenty more that'd we like.
Reference 1. Reference 2. Reference 3. Reference 4.

FD.
(*) I'd be happy to discuss if we could second guess AIB reasons not to quote a figure for N1 - LATER.
