SPEED CONTROL<br />
The autothrust, when active, controls speed. The approach speed target (VAPP) is either managed<br />
by the FMGES or selected by the flight crew:<br />
‐ When managed, the FMGES computes the speed target and the flight crew may modify it via the<br />
MCDU. At 700 ft RA, the autothrust memorizes the current speed target value, to ensure stabilized<br />
speed guidance, even if Flight Management fails. Below 700 ft, any new VAPP or WIND entry in<br />
the MCDU does not have an effect on the speed target.<br />
‐ When selected, the autothrust always targets the speed selected on the FCU.<br />

AUTOLAND red warning and a triple-click aural warning are triggered:<br />
‐ Both APs OFF below 200 ft RA<br />
‐ Excessive deviation in LOC (1/4 dot above 15 ft RA) or GLIDE (1 dot above 100 ft RA). In addition,<br />
