A question I couldn't get a good answer for!
If the flap load limiter is U/S our MEL has 3 restrictions, I can remember 2 of them and it's one of these I wanted to ask the question about. They are a) don't use flap 40 and the one I wasn't too sure about the reason for is, b) RVR must be 300m or greater.
I know that the limiter is tied into airspeed in that with flap 40 selected and an increase beyond a set airspeed the flap retracts to 30 units until the aircraft is slowed down again
I can see the logic of not using flap 40, but how is the flap load limiter tied in to a requirement for a specific RVR. I've not been able to run this one by any of our crews.
Answers on a postcard!!
