22
Q

On which hydraulic circuit works autobrake ?

A

Green

23
Q

When will autobrake lights be displayed on main panel ?

A

Deceleration > 80% deceleration rate selected

24
Q

What systems should be operational for autobrake use ?

A

BSCU
1 ADIRU
2 SECs ( for spoilers )

25
Q

At which ground speed will autobrake work ?

A

Above 72kt, when spoilers deploy
The command for ground spoilers extension is detected, and the wheel speed is above 40 kt, for MAX mode

26
Q

Will autobrake work if ground spoilers not armed ?

A

Yes, when 1 reverse and other lever at least idle

27
Q

At which temperature of brake a green arc appears on ECAM door page ?

A

Above 100°C only on the hottest

28
Q

Can the gear be extended above 260 kts if necessary?

A

Yes , but only manually

29
Q

A

LG not downlocked, Flaps FULL or 3, RA < 750ft

34
Q

Max braking has been selected, TAKE-OFF being aborted after 72kt, engines in reverse, you have forgotten to arm the ground spoilers ; is the AUTOBRAKE activated ?
