Question A320 Questions

Hi folks,

im having some specific 319/320/321 questions. Would appreciate some good explanations:

1. Why did airbus install the feature on the 320 that with AP engaged the speedbrake comes out only half way? is that also with flaps out the case( AP on) ?

2. Why do we have to reset the center tank pumps after fueling for 10 seconds? Why does the aircraft not do it on its own?

3.Is it true that the brake fans cool the brakes for a possible spill of hydraulic fluid in the gear bay when the gear is retracted so that the risk of a fire is not there?

4.Why does the airbus manual say at landing take max reverse? is it something with procedures in a catIII approach? I think idle reverse is sufficient . But why do we have to pull them full back?

5. Does somebody have a good mean value for N1 on a A321 on final? Donīt like this EPR indications. Any tips or tricks?

6. When we get the nav accuracy downgrade message and the FMS show Low. So we are flying inbound a fictional Waypoint RNAV, whats the best solution? Request a heading?


Thanks folks!
