ELAC,
I had to think about that for some time ...

I'm looking at the page in the FCOM now.
T.O Memo consist of:
AUTO BRK ... MAX
SIGNS ... ON
CABIN ... CHECK
SPLRS ... ARM
FLAPS ... T.O
T.O CONFIG ... TEST
These are the items shown in the FCOM screen shot. Are there more?
If I do all the stuff (how do I tell the computer I've checked the cabin, btw?) that is displayed, except arm the ground spoilers, you say then that, although the SPLRS line may remain blue (to do), T.O Config might still change to "NORMAL", since it only checks for "Spoilers retracted", but not for "Ground Spoilers Armed"?
