Yes, more or less… ground speed mini is added to Vapp so end result is similar but obviously much more dynamic. Worth noting that the NEO provides a significantly smaller groundspeed mini increment than the CEO however as it was reduced from simply being current headwind component - tower headwind component down to 1/3rd of it.
For the NEO:
GROUND SPEED MINI FUNCTION PRINCIPLE
The objective of the Ground Speed Mini function is to take advantage of the aircraft inertia, when the wind varies during the approach. This objective is achieved
by providing the adequate indicated speed target (i.e. the managed speed target represented by the magenta triangle). When the aircraft flies this indicated air
speed target, the energy of the aircraft is maintained above a minimum level ensuring aerodynamic margins versus stall.
During the approach, the FG continuously computes the managed speed target in order to take into account the gusts or wind changes
VAPP COMPUTATION
The MS computes the VAPP, and displays it on the PERF APPR page. The VAPP computation takes into account the tower headwind component. VAPP is
computed as follows:
- VAPP = VLS+ 1/3 of the TWR HEADWIND COMPONENT, or
- VAPP = VLS +5 kt, whichever is the highest.
Note: “1/3 of the TWR HEADWIND COMPONENT” has two limits: - 0 kt as the minimum value (no wind or tailwind)
+15 kt as the maximum value.
The flight crew can manually modify the VAPP and MAG WIND values on the PERF APPR page.
MANAGED SPEED TARGET COMPUTATION
The FG continuously computes the managed speed target that is equal to VAPP plus an additional increment. This increment takes into account the headwind
variation during the final approach.
Managed speed target = VAPP + 1/3* (current headwind component - tower headwind component).
The managed speed target has the following limits:
VAPP, as the minimum value
- VFE next, in CONF 0,1,2,3, VFE-5 kt in CONF FULL, as the maximum value.
