Auto Spoilers

[BenniT.]

Hi.

According to the Checklist you have to ARM the Spoilers before Takeoff. So far no Problem.

I also armed them before Landing, but they didn't deploy automatically after touchdown. What are the conditions for the Spoilers to Deploy in AUTO mode after landing?

regards,

Heya!

In which position did you put the spoilers? Arming happens at 0°; the position above it is the "OFF" position.

Oooops. Of course I've put it into the "off" position... I should really start learning the russian language... 😄

Thanks a lot for your fast and helpful reply!

I thought this was the case but was second guessing myself after my first landing last night. I had the spoilers handle in this position but they didn't seem to deploy on touchdown. Is there any other condition that could prevent them from extending?

mmmh, I´ve not have had any luck recreating this. Are you sure the lever was in armed position and not slightly above/below the dent?

I have it assigned to an axis so it could have slipped slightly potentially. I'll try with a deadzone at the end. Thanks!
