Dear Piltdown Man:

I set up a training flight at VGEG, takeoff from RW 23and landing ILS RW23 with Emb 175. The gross wt. was 32000 Kg. Crz Alt 4000 ft. At 4000 ft. Green dot speed was 220 kts. Before intercepting localizer, I set flaps 1. Green dot speed dropped to 205 kts.
1.Is it okay to intercept localizer at that high speed? In a 737-800/A320 localizer interception speed is on an average 170 kts with flaps 5/config2.
2. Why the flaps 1 Green dot speed is so high?
3. Is it okay to use flaps 2 or 3 and slow to flaps 2 or 3 Green dot speed before intercepting localizer?
