A320 Hot Weather Ops Question
I've researched this and haven't found an answer yet.
For example, say your company policy is to leave the flaps at 1+F on taxi in to avoid an AIR L (R) WING LEAK warning when temperatures are >30 C or more.
Your the new crew that picks up the plane that just came in. You do your preflight checks and come to the Take Off CONFIG check. I'm thinking the test won't work because the flaps/slats were left in the take off position (1+F).
So, my question is:
What are other operators doing at this point?
Are they retracting the flaps/slats to up and then doing the Take Off CONFIG test?
Are other operators lowering the flaps/slats to 1+F after completion of the Take Off CONFIG test?
Thank you in advance!
