SPEED BRAKES / SPOILERS
Q: Is there any landing configuration when speed brake extension is inhibited?
Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-27-10-20)
Flaps FULL
SPEED BRAKES / SPOILERS
Q: When do the Ground Spoilers automatically extend?
Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-27-10-20)
- Partial – When reverse thrust is selected on at least one engine with the other at idle and one main landing gear strut is compressed
- Full – At touchdown of both main gear , or in case of RTO with airspeed above 72 knots, when BOTH thrust levers at IDLE (if ground spoilers armed) or when reverse thrust is selected on at least one engine with the other thrust lever at IDLE (if the ground spoilers are not armed)
SPEED BRAKES / SPOILERS
Q: At touchdown with reverse selected and only one landing gear strut compressed, will the ground spoilers extend?
Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC- 27-10-20)
Partially – Full extension is limited until both main gear struts are compressed
SPEED BRAKES / SPOILERS
Q: When will the ground spoilers automatically retract?
Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-27-10-20)
When at least one thrust lever is advanced above IDLE
SPEED BRAKES / SPOILERS
Q: When is speedbrake extension inhibited (SAFET)?
Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-27-10-20)
- SEC 1 and 3 have failed
- AOA protection is active
- Flaps FULL
- Elevator (L or R) fault (only spoilers 3 and 4 are inhibited)
- Thrust levers above the MCT position
SPEED BRAKES / SPOILERS
Q: In flight, what happens if a spoiler fault is detected or electrical power is lost?
Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-27-10-20)
The spoiler automatically retracts
SPEED BRAKES / SPOILERS
Q: What is the difference between the A319 - A321 and A320 regarding speed brake usage with the AP on?
Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-27-10-20)
With the A319 and 321 you get full spoiler deflection and with the A320 you only get partial spoiler deflection
