Our oldest A320, built in 1987/88 have LAF accumulators. Two in each wing connected to two spoilers in each wing. They were tiny little hyd px vessels that always needed servicing. When LAF occured, they pushed up the four spoilers together to alleviate the load in the wing.
Our later A320 built in 1999 do not have them.
No accumulators, no problem, but is LAF still active?
I think that Airbus removed the system on later build aircraft because they found it wasn't needed?
