FlyByWire A380X Quick Reference
V-SPEEDS
| Speed | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rotation Attitude | 12.5 deg | 10 deg with an engine failed; then follow SRS |
| RTO Autobrake Active | Above 72 kt | Max braking if thrust levers at idle; inactive below |
| Reverser to Idle | 80 kt | Avoid high reverse at low speed unless KEEP MAX REVERSE |
| Autopilot Disconnect (auto rollout) | Before 20 kt | - |
| BTV Autobrake Disarm | 10 kt | Automatic in BTV mode |
| Flare Height | 40 ft AGL | Normal flare height on a stabilized approach |
| Managed Speed Limit | 250 kt below 10,000 ft | FMS default; alterable on the VERT REV page |
| Crosswind Thrust Threshold | 23 kt | Above this, or with tailwind, set 50 percent thrust then FLX/TOGA at 20 kt GS |
POWER SETTINGS
| Phase | Setting |
|---|---|
| Takeoff (initial) | 25 percent thrust, then FLX or TOGA |
| Takeoff (crosswind >23 kt or tailwind) | 50 percent, then FLX or TOGA at 20 kt ground speed |
| Thrust Reduction | CL detent on LVR CLB |
| Idle (ISA SL, bleeds OFF) | Throttle ~3 percent, N1 ~20 percent, N2 ~66 percent |
| Engine Run-Up (ice shedding) | 60 percent N1 on two symmetric engines, then the other two |
| Taxi | Not more than 10 percent thrust at heavy weight uphill |
| Go-Around | TOGA, then CL at the go-around thrust reduction altitude |
FLAP SCHEDULE
| Setting | Max Speed | Use |
|---|---|---|
| CONF 1 | Approaching green dot | Set before 3 NM from the FAF; decelerate toward S speed |

| Landing Gear DOWN | After CONF 2 | 2,000 ft AGL minimum |
| CONF 3 | Below VFE NEXT | Approach / landing; may be the landing config over FULL |
| CONF FULL | Below VFE NEXT | Landing; decelerate toward approach speed |
| CONF 1+F | Takeoff | F speed does not appear for a CONFIG 1+F takeoff |
