Actually I just checked (QRH PER-32 Brake system NORM+ALTN FAULT A320 63T) you would just need 1690m to land in CONF FULL and 1950m in CONF 3, and as far I understand those distances are correct only if you have Flaps ! And in elec emerg config you only have Slats, unless windmilling is suffisant enough when you are configuring.

Thanks for the info, the difference between EDP and elec pump is much bigger than I thought, nice to keep it in mind. Is it written anywhere in our books or does it come from the answer by Airbus ?

According to Hudson river's NTSB report you should be able to make it (not an easy task!), page 50 during simulator sessions some pilots managed to land on Rwy 22 starting the turn just after bird encounter at 2800 ft.

Thanks, my company hasn't updated QRH yet, but I'll keep a eye on it
