After Landing- A320
@ Sidestick & Seagull
Thanks but a doubt remains. The maximum rudder travel deflection gradually reduces as the speed increases to avoid structural loads. At slats extension, full rudder travel authority is recovered. Therefore if the ADIRS are switched OFF when the Slats are extended the rudder travel deflection will be at it’s maximum. During hot weather conditions to prevent AIR L(R) WING LEAK warnings the Slats are kept in Config 1 where OAT is above 30 degree C. Now with Config 1 +F selected, if the ADIRS are set to OFF the Rudder Travel may reach maximum deflection and damage the mechanical stop. So the logical action would be to activate the Yellow Electric Pump after obtaining clearance from ground personnel, and then retract SLATS/FLAPS before doing an alignment. Any difference of opinion ?
