Mulligan Airbus flap settings Question for 319/320 drivers Do you generally: a) use flap 3 unless you need flap full b) Use flap full unless you need flap 3 WHY? I would pickup answer b. Airbus recommends flap full landing to minimize the negative effects of a low flap setting, such as reduced tailstrike margins or higher approach speeds. But there are cases, as you can see, where flap 3 is the best option, when you need to maximize aircraft energy during approach such as in windshear operations. Beside all that, there are "also" fuel policy issues. Flap 3 is a good option on a dry long runway where you can use idle reverse and autobrake low. The runway length depends obviously on your type and gross weight, and airlines usually give a reference value based on your airplane and operations. |
better make flapless landing :) less drag, less fuel burn, makes all the beancounters in their offices happy .....and disregard good airmanship, which usually will use flaps full as "normal" setting for landing
ok :cool: honestly I use 99.9 % FLAPS FULL for normal landing |
