A320 Speeds and Flap Settings

Post by shackler781 »

I am approaching the 50 hour mark and have been practicing flights with the SAX A320. After reading the attached 'read-me' files and doing my own research, I have found some conflicting speed and flaps info and was wondering what you all use compared to what I have figured. The info is as follows:

-I cut throttle in landing configuration at max landing weight (as published by Airbus) and the SAX A320 stalled at 110. Adding 10%, I tried an approach at 121 with limited control surface functionality. I then read that approach speeds are typically in the 150 to 155 range, but tried the 144 approach that the 737 provides with success. Any thoughts on approach speeds?

-I have two different references for max flap speeds.
v.1
1 245
2 215
3 190
4 175
5 160

v.2
1 230
2 215
3 200
4 185
5 177
Any thoughts?

Thanks for your input!
