Limits deployment of speed brake under high gross weight/airspeed conditions. If deployed to flight detent, automatically reduces to 50%, and handle moves back to 50%. Can be overridden, but increased force is required, and must be held in place between flight detent and 50% |
|
Speed brake system during ground operation |
During landing, auto brake operates: - speed brake lever is in armed mode - speed brake armed light illuminated - radio altimeter is less than 10ft - landing gear compression on touchdown - both thrust levers are retarded to idle - main wheel speed more than 60 kts If speed brake handle is in down position, still auto if: -main wheel speed more than 60kts - reverse thrust position for reverse thrust - handle moves to up position automatically After landing or RTO, if either thrust is advanced, lever moves to down detent and panels close. Can also be manually moved |
