69
Q

When MAY you use the EARLY STABILIZED APPROACH technique?

A

Basis: speed for appraoch is reduced down to VAPP in landing config at the FDP

Examples:

  • Approach via selected/selected guidance
  • high glide path angle
  • low altitude intermediate approach

Select VAPP in MCDU as speed constraint at FDP!!!

Can you use WING A/ICE on landing?

A

Yes but ONLY in severe icing conditions

Otherwise switch it off after landing flap selected
