KY QUOTE....my mob recommends that during transit stops the slats remain in CONFIG 1 after landing, when the OAT is greater than +30c.


Yeah mate,good advice and usually company ops requirement...I,m based out of Phoenix AZ....the temps hit the low 40,s regularly....we use 38c as the # for config one..works well..stops a lot of ecam messages for sure


another one ....we use "windsheild bras" to stop the intense heat getting into the cockpit with everything running....keeps the temps much cooler....the fabric is of a kevlar nature and works very well.....5 mins before pushback we open cocpit windows and allow bra to fall to the ground...makes the cockpit so much nicer to be in..PB
