A: 80 KIAS
Q15: Can de-rated thrust be selected on contaminated runways? (SUPP12)
A: The derated thrust procedure can be used on runways contaminated with standing water, slush or snow, if the contaminated runway performance data are used.
Q16: Can flex thrust be selected on wet runways?
A: Yes. If wet runway performance data is used. (CAI & WAI OFF)

Q18: How is the engine oil cooled? FCOM1(18-07-11)
A:
* Fuel/Oil heat exchanger
* Air/Oil heat exchanger
* Oil/Oil heat exchanger (VFG OOHE)
Q19: When does the FADEC transition from flight idle to approach idle? FCOM1(18-09-17)
A:
The derated thrust procedure can be used on runways contaminated with
standing water, slush or snow, if the contaminated runway performance
When the aircraft enters the landing phase (transition below 400 feet RA),
when flap 4 is
selected (to configure for a flap 4 landing), or when the landing gear
