September 3, 201213 yr Hi, When i'm doing a manual landing the plane is really hard to fly and slow to respoond. Maybe about 200 feet before landing the controls become a lot easier to fly the plane....Why is that? Please help. TY
October 16, 201213 yr Hi, How can I calculate what my Landing Speed should be for the Pairbus A320? Thanks!
October 16, 201213 yr It is all based on the weight of your aircraft and your flaps position. This is the case not only in the A320 but also all heavies. If you program the FMC, it should provide you with the appropriate speeds based on the flap settings. Best regards, Jim Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!

If I have the weight and flap position, how can I calculate it then?
October 16, 201213 yr You mean Airbus instead of PAirbus don't you? I found a manual you might be interested in. It has the calculations on page 39 - http://www.deltava.org/library/A320%20DVA%20Manual.pdf. Hope this helps! I'm going to merge this topic with your recent post regarding problems with the A320.

October 17, 201213 yr You mean Airbus instead of PAirbus don't you? I think he means the Project Airbus A320, which indeed doesn't have an FMC. Regarding the approach speed, I'd say it's about the same as the default A321(i.e. between 130 and 140kts), which is of course not correct, but probably as good as you can get it without doing some proper calculations.

October 17, 201213 yr Commercial Member Is that plane using default A321 panel? I think it has this unrealistic "fly by wire" protection which makes control over 200ft really slow which of course doesn't happen in real A320.
October 17, 201213 yr For the A320 The landing speed is usually calculated that way: GW (kg)/1000 + 75 + 1/3 of the head wind component. Example GW of 60 000 kg and a 6kt head wind will give you 60 + 75 + 2 = 137 kt
October 17, 201213 yr Commercial Member Leghorn - You wouldn't add wind correction to 6kts on the bus, in your case it would be VLS + 5kts to get Vapp, no wind additive required. The OP needs something like TOPCAT or performance tables but since he is flying PA it probably wouldn't matter either way. Rob Prest

I think it has this unrealistic "fly by wire" protection which makes control over 200ft really slow which of course doesn't happen in real A320. So thats not normal right? It should always be easy and not slow? For the A320 The landing speed is usually calculated that way: GW (kg)/1000 + 75 + 1/3 of the head wind component. Example GW of 60 000 kg and a 6kt head wind will give you 60 + 75 + 2 = 137 kt Great thanks!!
