Flaps/Slats locked. 320 question.
Hi,
Firstly I apologize for making another thread, but this is quiet a confusing failure for me still. I haven't been demonstrated it yet, but would like to fully understand it before I do get demonstrated.
If flaps fail to retract after TO, speed select, ask for ECAM actions.
You would definitely want to come back to land, correct?
Will configuring for landing mean flaps would NOT extend either, or it could be that they extend maybe, but just not retract?
Second scenario,
Flaps fail while you're in approach and have no time to calculate distance etc etc. go around if you weren't ready for this and retract flaps normally?
When doing an approach with flaps or slats locked, you will use conf 3, select Vfe next -5, and keep configuring.
Why exactly do we do this? Once activating approach phase, the speed decelerates below Vfe anyway..
Apply landing distance. Am I missing something else?
If BOTH slats and flaps locked after you select flaps 1, there is no need to select flaps 2, or anything at all now, correct? As it won't do anything..
I do apologize for the silly questions, but I'm a newbie just learning now.
Thank you in advance.
