GM Mini and V App

[Boyington]

If I enter a speed manually as VApp will GS Mini Function be available?

[ACMS]

Yes.......

[vilas]

GS as calculated from FMGS Vapp or manually entered Vapp will be maintained.

Just to confirm though that you are talking about a Vapp entered into the FMGC and not a Vapp that you are using as a selected speed. If the speed is selected on the FCU, GS mini is not operating .

[Recaro]

And what if both fmgc fail, is the GS mini still functional as well?

[pineteam]

No it’s not as VAPP is computed by the FMGS.

[ACMS]

If both FMGEC’s fail G/S mini will be the last thing on your mind I’m sure.

And no, it won’t work then.....

Reference GS anyone?
How easy was it, and how easy is it!

Bit cryptic, Capt Fathom... Are you referring to a manual calculation of GS Mini, as some of us used to do in the 1980s - pre-A320?
