69A: FLARE & LANDING ON A321 NEOs

Question 1

Specifically, the two important effects on the pitch control which are not anymore compensated by the A321 NEO Flare law and must be compensated by the pilot manually are:

Answer 1

• Ground Effect.
• Thrust Variations.

Question 2

In every flare in A321NEO, due to ground effect and thrust reduction, the aircraft has an additional tendency to ___ which needs to be compensated for by the pilot. This translates to an anticipation of a larger stick movement requirement (as compared to an A 320) to achieve the flare resulting in desired pitch attitude change.

Answer 2

pitch nose down

Question 3

The pitch attitude in stabilised approach is lower in A321 typically approximately ___ in Config full and 3 respectively (vs ___ respectively on A 320). The pilot visual perception to start the Flare may be affected by this different perspective.

Answer 3

0° and +1.5°
+2.5° and + 4.5°
