Q

Low Energy Warning

“Speed Speed Speed”

A

Designed to function prior to alpha floor to alert pilot to add thrust and reduce AOA.

Not dependent on flight laws.

It’s independent from auto thrust status and active below 2000 feet, config 2 or greater or when alpha floor is not engaged.

A

Only when the yellow HYD system controls brake pressure.

You should only see when you’re in alternate braking or parking brake.

If you see pressure anytime else, it means that you are not on normal braking (GREEN HYD SYS) and have a problem.
