42.
Green Dot Speed / CLEAN: After initiating the APPR Phase (#41) automatically the MCDU reduces the
speed to “Green Dot Speed” (197 knots).
43.
Flaps: During the approach the flaps will be slowly step by step extended from 1 (after reaching
“Green Dot Speed”) to FULL based on aircraft speed – The flaps will be extended to 1 at least
automatically 10 NM before the runway threshold if IAS is below VFE.
44.
S-Speed: After the flaps are deployed by the Copilot to 1 the MCDU automatically reduces the speed
to S-Speed (172 knots). If the plane does not slow down to S-Speed then just use the speed brakes
until S-Speed is reached.
45.
Landing Memo: The conditions for the Landing Memo are:
• < 2100 feet RA above runway altitude for STEEP APPROACH
• Flight mode: Cruise or Approach
• Both thrust levers at or below CL detent
The “LANDING” checklist is “interrupted” until the “Landing Memo” becomes available in the Upper
ECAM. The Copilot then continues with the settings i. e. flaps 2, gear down etc.
46.
Flaps 2: At calculated speed (but must be lower than VFE = 200 knots) the flaps are automatically
extended to 2 by the copilot (if = ON). If the calculated flaps 2 extension speed is higher than VFE the
plane must be near MLW or even above. This means it is an emergency situation. In such a case do
not use “Managed Speed”, but set the speed manually to a value below VFE = 200 knots (e.g. 195
knots). The flaps then will be automatically extended by the copilot (if = ON). After the flaps have
been extended to 2 you can again use “Managed Speed” for landing.
48.
LOC Alive: Before LSR06 the localizer becomes “alive” and this will be confirmed by a PM call
“LOCALIZER ALIVE”. The conditions for this call are: The angle to the runway must be smaller than 90
° and the Approach, Landing as well as BaroCheck are not active.
