Spot on. Airbus has changed the logic of the Ground Spoiler extention on newer models, so that you get a PARTIAL spoiler extention with ONE main wheel on ground and TL idle. On older models you need ONE main wheel on ground and one TL in REVERSE.
The FCOM states that the Auto Brake will activate when the Ground Spoilers extent. If that is also the case with PARTIAL ground spoiler extention, in my opinion if you land in strong xwinds, auto brake MEDIUM you will be in for a very nasty surprice with the new ground spoiler logic, because the braking will start 2s after you touched down, still rolling on only ONE main wheel.
Anybody, knows how the Auto Brake activation works with the implementation of the new Ground Spoiler logic (SEC 120 update)?
