Which configuration is achieved with slats extended at over 100 kts?

When slats are extended at speeds over 100 knots, the aircraft achieves CONF 1 configuration. In this state, slats are deployed to enhance the aerodynamic performance of the wing during flight. This is critical for improving lift and reducing stall speed, allowing the aircraft to maintain more stable flight characteristics, especially during initial climb or approach phases.

CONF 1 is specifically designed for operation in the upper speed range, where the additional lift provided by slats is beneficial. It is one of the configuration settings utilized by the Airbus A320 to optimize performance based on speed and operational requirements. The deployment of slats in this configuration plays an important role in ensuring safe and effective handling of the aircraft at higher speeds.
