Thanks for clarifying that, vilas.

One minor observation, if I may: I think it's important not to confuse GS-mini - i.e., the minimum ground-speed calculated for an approach by the GS-mini system...

That's right, and as far as I can remember that protocol on the reporting of gusts in METARS has not changed in around fifty years. Reported wind speeds are, of course, mean speeds, unless annotated...

Quote from vilas:
"It has to do with gain modulation of flight controls. F3 is very sensitive so F full handles better."

Yes. I'm not going to show my ignorance of the current A320 FCOM regarding...

Hi Unhooked,
As a retired old fart, I hesitate to argue with a current operator, but I experienced the first 14 years of A320 ops and your scenario remains all too familiar 18 years later.

Yes, as you suggest I think the term GS-mini is hard to beat, as it is indeed a minimum GS - not a target GS. Of course Airbus did not invent the concept; aviators a lot cleverer than I - some of...

If that's 21st-century aeronautical syntax, I bow to your superior knowledge, FlightDetent! Or could it simply be the invention of a Francophone technical writer at St. Martin-du-Touch?

Have to disagree with that, having used GS-mini from its 1988 inception in airline ops. Remember that the system will never produce a managed IAS target below Vapp. Note also that managed IAS is a...

Hi vilas,
Am surprised that, as time approaches the 32nd anniversary of my first go in an A320 sim (an early, highly-unreliable Thomson-CSF model at Blagnac), yours is incapable of simulating the...

Thanks vilas! :O
I wonder if that represents a memory failure on my part, or if that protection has been added since 2001. I'll have to dig out my old FCOM...

Hi bin31,
