bobsk8 21 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 On approach, if ATC tells me to reduce speed to 180 knots and I am currently in managed mode doing 250 knots, I pull the speed knob out and set it to 180. Once the aircraft slows to 180, can I push the knob back in and it continues to hold 180 in managed mode and performs the normal speed reduction for Flaps 2-3- and 4? I tried this on an approach today, and when I got to 180, I pushed the knob in, and it started to accelerate back to 250. So I am not quite clear how this should work, and have been leaving it at 250 and managed mode despite what ATC says, until it automatically slows down to 180 at flaps 1. I hope my question is clear.

So either wait with pushing the knob back in until you have over flown the declaration point or initiate the approach phase manually on the PERF page of the left MCDU.
