A320 Descent Management - VVTS, shortcut on arrival correctly handled

Here is an approach into VVTS where multiple shortcuts are given which results in being high but the situation was correctly handled.

Again, great video. Thanks a lot 👍

I've just started to watch your videos and are so interesting. One basic question: we need 3nm to lose 1000ft, and so you divide track miles by 3 to get the altitude you should be at. Why are you multiplying miles by 3 instead? Since they give you a higher result, is this just to have more buffer? Am I wrong?

[@a320descentenergymanagemen3]

The reason why I am multiplying distance by 3 is that it just works much better, more accurate, and less workload. The notion of 3 nm per 1000 ft is not accurate. It's actually 900 ft.

Quite rare to find such video on TH-cam thanks a lot mate !

Glad you like it 😊

thanks. Wouldnt it be bettter extend F1 then 2 and get rid of vls instead of gear down?

[@a320descentenergymanagemen3]

The problem is that the aircraft is way too high on energy and the speedbrake does not provide enough drag in this case. Extra drag is needed, and therefore gear down. If you would slow down to about 180 kts for Flap 2, you will get even higher (slow down = reduced vertical speed) and you will end up above the glide slope.
In general, I do not recommend using Flaps 2 if you are high on energy (other than flying level and unable to descent close to the airfield). There are several reasons for that, which I discuss in my book.

Hello, thanks for the video. One question, why was the ignition mode activated during the final part of the approach?

[@a320descentenergymanagemen3]

The A320 does that automatically once flaps are selected.
