Skiathos FOVE Landing Data

[ARNA330]

I am curious about the Airbus FOVE program and the A321 planned/inflight landing weight achieved when using this LPC program for planning/inflight landing performance at LGSK/JSI.

Rwy 02 length (LDA) is 1570 meters and when using FCOM 2 for planning, a weight of 71.33 tons (interpolated) is max while the QRH, also interpolated, gives a weight of 71.2. No credit given for headwind in accordance to Airbus FCOM manuals.
I know of several A321 flights that were landing well above that weight and I am wondering if the FOVE LPC program gives an operator a higher landing weight???

Can anyone with a A321 FOVE program shed light on this issue???

Who exactly are the operators your talking about that fly into JSI?? Because the company that I fly for doesn't... Only 757 or 320....
Just curious:cool:

FOVE, for all things equal, should give identical results to the FCOM.

I've checked my company's fove based upon A321-211, Nil wind, 15 Deg C, 1013, Dry runway Conf Full and get 72500 Max Landing wt on 02. With approx 6kt headwind you can get max structural LDW.

On a WET rwy, the MLDW reduces considerably to 58700.

T/O from LGSK is quite restrictive on an A321, for same conditions as above, MTOW is 80000 dry, 78000 wet.

Always used to baffle me how you could have 2 identical a/c on the ramp at LGSK with near identical ZFMs, one operator would have to tech-stop for fuel en-route, the other would make it back direct to the same, or a more northerly point in the UK....

ARNA330, I can confirm during the 6 years flying for y European career, we used to land at JSI at max LW 75,5 for A 321. The reason was tankering due to high fuel prices. Even more, i used to fly there during my line training and after nearly 5 years the company changed the airdrome to class C. That were funny days.
