A32X Landing Speeds

[Guest Yukio]

Hi all,with FS9 i have a problem i always get everytime i fly one of the PSS A319-320-321.I perfectly enter loads weight in the second INIT page of the MCDU (ZFW and BLOCK).T/O Speeds seem to be calculated well by the computer, but i noticed that Landing ones are ALWAYS too low. Let's say about 15-20 knots under.In example, with the A320, medium load/fuel, managed speed slow down to about 140/145knots with flaps full, but i immediately notice that the plane cannot follow the Glidescope... with the ILS magenta sign going up and the voice alarm "TOO LOW, TOO LOW" shouting.I can land fine only with manually entered speed, let's say at about 160kots.I really can't understand if i miss something or it's just a software bug.PS: Just another question: why when i activate approch mode, speed slow down a lot? (mh about 220knots, instead of the usual 270/280)Thanks in advance.

I think you may be activating the Approach mode too early. I typically do not engage it until on the downwind leg or thereabouts where your speed is already significantly lower.Gene

So do I, typically between about 3000 to 4000 ft.Rob Elliott, EGPE InvernessPSS Airbus Support andAirbus Fleet Training Captain, British Airways Virtual airbus@speedbirdonline.co.ukhttp://www.speedbirdonline.co.uk/airbus.htmlhttp://www.bavirtual.co.uk

Are you getting the Vref speed from the table in the manual? Also, I don't activate the localizer until the localizer is within range. Then I activate the approach button when the glide slope has become active.
