This hands-down beat any explanation i've found in the manuals. THANK YOU!

its 2022 and no one explained it better than you sir, thank you.

Thanks a lot for such a perfect presentation and understanding. All A320 pilots should watch this video irrespectively as the FCOM doesn't have such clarity.

By far the best explanation I’ve seen after a 24 year flying career 🎉👍🏽

Good thing I studied and wrote this down a few months before my line check. SAVED ME from embarrassment.

All speeds are calculated from one, Vs (stall clean). [VLS = 1.23 Vs]. [Vapp = VLS + 5 (or 1/3 wind)]. This is all about keeping a safe speed above stall in case of a wind change.

Do you know him personally Jeff? I have flown a 3 day with him, here's how it went. - He never mentioned his KZfaq channel or his flight school - He never talked about anything aviation related outside of what was relevant to our flight - Bought first round when we went to dinner on day 2 - Always tipped the van driver - At the end of day 3 I brought up this channel, he smiled and acknowledged it was his. - He's a very down to earth/humble guy that in person never spoke of instruction but after being asked seemed very passionate about it. Be careful who you judge Jeff.

I guess the aircraft will land a Vtarget as long as the wind at tbe threshold is the same as tge wind on the PERF App page. Thanks for explaining it so well.

This is really easy to understand, thank you so much!

Thank you!! Amazing and simple explanation

I see how you're trying to explain this but using the term "constant groundspeed" is misleading. What if there's a tailwind on the approach at some point in the approach (like windshear, which is when GS mini is most useful)? Using your figures from this example; GS Mini of 127kts, if you had a 10 kt tailwind the actual GS would increase to 137Kts. Not constant. GS Mini maintains a *minimum* groundspeed, not a constant groundspeed. Apart from that, your video was a nice help.

Best explanation I got so far.

Hi initially wind component taken was 21kts and 1/3 of that was 7kts..we also assumed that our VLS was 132kts... So u added 132+7=139kts. Why then would you subtract 12kts to calculate gs mini base line...shouldn’t it be a 21kts subtraction.

Love your videos. Subbed.....just one question. With a wind of 100/12 in your example the VAPP should be 137 (139 was for wind 100/21). This throws off all the other calculations by a few knots.

Other factors - Wind gusts say 30Knts. this must be factored into Vref (mainly based on total weight). This would mean Vls +5 + 1/2 headwind + 1/2 wind gusts. = 127+5+1/2 (12) +wind gusts(1/2*30) = 127+5+6+15=153knts.

This just answered all my biggest question about the Airbus! Thank you!

Very good presentation. Thank you

Perfect explanation! Thank you!

Very good explanation 👍

What about x-winds? Does GSmini use only the Headwind (or TW) component OR the full wind value?

Great explanation

Hello Juan, I’ve seen pilots that when the wind is variable, like to set the PERF wind so that its a full tailwind, and according to this theory they are actually reducing the GS mini protection. What do you think about this practice?

Boom!!! Got it! Nailed my learning curve totally. Very intelligent speed prot target especially in gusty/variable winds. QUEST!? At what point does to je GSmini cecede and Vapp is followed or cc reduced so as to cross 50ft threshold at Vat? From 200 ft?

I don't understand, you had wind 100/21 Vapp 139 then you changed wind to 100/12 and in the next sample your Vapp still 139 , but you said that if 1/3 of wind less then Vls + 5 , we should use Vls +5

With the A/T active and managed speed..or used the QRH to calculate the vls and vapp.than use selected speed or manual trust to maintain the v target.

what i got is the Vtarget =Vapp+(current headwind component-curent tower headwind component),its little bit different from what you said in the end.plz correct me if i am wrong

Very good. Thanks

Woww,thanks very much,very well explained!!!

Great job for this video ! It was an interrogation that I had during one of my first landing and now I perfectly understand ! Thanks to you !

Thank you so much… God must have put you on this earth to teach, great sir!

Very well explained!!!

REALLY USEFUL EXPLANATION I would say that if there is a tail wind as surface wind the formula should be GS mini baseline = Vapp + wind entered in the perf. app. page Is it correct?

Thanks dude!

Keep up the good work

You've explained it, using only direct headwind into consideration. I guess you should also explain it using crosswind and tailwind.

Man! Thank you so much for the video! You should work for the airlines as a Ground Instructor!!

how it work in variable gusty winds or do i have to override A/thr

Awesome!

Cool maths but you entirely miss the point of GS mini. If the actual wing is GREATER than the tower wind the target speed will increase as at some point the wind will decrease to the actual tower wind. Talking about ground speeds etc is meaningless to pilots as we look at air speed and wind. If the wind is greater than tower wind it will run the target up to allow for the decrease which is coming. Forget about ground speeds they are useless as is all the plus and minus winds. Its all about wind in excess of reported wind...its all about simple..

Where do I get the VLS from in the first place ? : (

Hi! Will the ground speed mini work using manual thrust? (Auto thrust off)

Not a complete explanation…. GS shown on ND is not always GS mini, if the reported winds in HW and in reality it’s TW on approach, GS increases but GSmini remains the same, so ND will show current GS and not GS mini.

Good video, but unfortunately not entirely accurate as it doesn't take into account the changes brought in by the NEO.

Not accurate when the winds change to tail winds..

Rule no:1 : Never wear a Black suit with a Black Screen

Good try. Bad effort + bad writing + bad organizing. And as this presentation is for begginers, you should have mention about Max V target, as many of them will wonder what if headwind become so big that would lead the V target become even greater than VFE in landing config.

Can you imagine a 3 day with this slimy hustler. This punk isn’t the know it all he acts like.
