This document provides information about key differences between the Airbus A320 and the A320 equipped with Sharklet wingtip devices:
1) The A320 Sharklets have a increased wing span of 1.7 meters and overall length of 35.8 meters compared to 34.1 meters for the standard A320.
2) Minimum control speeds and hangar clearances are unchanged between the two models, but wind limits for CAT II/III approaches and automatic rollout limitations with thrust reverser use are different for the Sharklets.
3) The A320 Sharklets have updated wingtip navigation and strobe lights with new positions and LED technology, and the flight crew can switch off the

Navigation lights On A320 aircraft fitted with Sharklets, the
navigation and the strobe lights on the wings have different position and technology (LED). In certain conditions, the strobe lights may cause distraction during the flight. The flight crew can switch them off if the lights cause any visual trouble.
A blue light below each light monitor the wear
Blue lights of the light. When this light flashes blue, the strobe light replacement should be planned.
A320 > A320 Sharklets 6/14
Due to a modification introduced in the FAC, VMCG are increased by 1.6 kt and by 1 kt for CFM and IAE engines respectively. The minimum control speeds VMCA and VMCL remain unchanged.
A320 > A320 Sharklets 7/14
Maximum wind conditions for CAT II or CAT III automatic approach, landing and rollout are different.
A320 > A320 Sharklets 8/14
There are additional automatic rollout limitations on the A320 Sharklets for the use of thrust reverser.
A320 > A320 Sharklets 9/14
The maximum allowed wing fuel imbalance limitations are different at takeoff.
A320 > A320 Sharklets 10/14
This caution is triggered when the system detects that the pitch trim value set on the handwheel and the pitch trim value entered in the MCDU disagree.
A320 > A320 Sharklets 11/14
On A320 Sharklets, in case of YAW DAMPER SYS failure, the flight controls remain in ALTN LAW at landing gear extension.
