A318 steep approach?

Hi,

I have just read the article in BALPA mag about those brave BA souls who land a bus at London City.

Just interested to know at what height the "standby, standby , flare " call outs happen and is the flare law normal (ie pitch down at 30 feet ) or is it modified when the steep approach button is pressed?

Thanks

Hi,
"STAND-BY" two times at 117 and 90ft, "FLARE" at 63ft. Different source says "FLARE" at around 55ft. Flare law modified, don't know about details.

You get used to it.

I just do the same old.....pull back just before it looks like it will crash.


Leave it too late...............
