PBL - Airbus Service Bulletin

PBL- TAM distributed Rev 2 to the press, to "prove" that they were not to blame for not "knowing" about the new TL ABV IDLE alert. That is because, as you noted, it is not explicit in Rev 2, which is classified "desirable". I donīt know if it would be in the original SB (NOV 13 06) or first revision (MAY 21 07), but i donīt think it is very likely to be explicit anywhere. This is why:
The alert was announced by Airbus after the Taiwan accident and to be issued "soon" in the H2F3 standard. But according to Yannick Malinge, certification authorities did not see the alert as efficient and practical, in terms of creating situational awareness for the pilot in the split second scenario of TL ABV IDLE.
Please let me know if you advance on this.
