Fenix A3xx series Landing Checklist when using flaps 3

Featured Replies

In one of the video tutorials I watched on the Fenix series, the narrator, who was a real life pilot said that in weather conditions where there was a strong head or crosswind, he would often select flaps 3 (conf3) to land, so he could do so at a slightly higher speed.

I have followed his advice of a number of recent landings. To let the MCDU know what my intentions are, I select the Perf button on the MCDU, then scroll across to the Appr page, and I change the LDG config from Full to conf 3.

As I start to make my final approach, the landing checklist appears on the upper ECAM, and it shows the flap setting required as FULL. I select flaps 3, but the checklist continues to show that Full flaps are required.

Is this a bug?, or is there something else I need to do, to ensure the checklist on the ECAM is aligned with my intentions, as programmed into the MCDU

Did you select flaps three on the overhead too?

No I did not - that will no doubt be the answer. Many thanks to you both.

Just had a further flight, engaged the flap three on the overhead, and it all worked as it should.

Cheers and Happy Flying
