96
How are the flaps and slats affected if only GREEN hydraulic system pressure available?
The flaps and slats will still operate, but at half speed.
97
What is ALPHA LOCK?
This function inhibits retracting slats from 1 to 0 at a high angle of attack and low airspeed.
98
Why do the SOPs ask us to leave the flaps at 1 on the ground when temperatures are above 37⁰C?
To allow air to flow between the leading edge and the slat to prevent WING BLEED LEAK warnings.
99
Discuss the ground spoiler logic on a rejected takeoff.
If the ground spoilers are armed and the speed exceeds 72 knots, the ground spoilers will automatically extend as soon as both thrust levers are set to idle. If the ground spoilers are not armed and the speed exceeds 72 knots, the ground spoilers will automatically extend as soon as reverse is selected on one engine (the other thrust lever remains at idle). Therefore, selecting at least idle reverse will always provide ground spoiler deployment.
