Just had a look at the latest FCOM CD for one of our newest CFM A320s.

The note is indeed as Hotrod describes on 1.27.10 P12 but only as a Note in Flight Controls - Ground Spoiler Control - Full Extension Landing Phase.

While I agree that it is as Hotrod describes, as with other deficiencies of the FCOM, it is less than clear that this note is not a full desccription of the deployment conditions, but rather only a note to tell you when (in time) and at what rate the Gnd Spoilers deploy during an autoland.

I stand by my earlier statement - and those of others - that the TLs must be at idle for the Gnd Splrs to deploy and hence for autobrake to work.

Cheers all,
