Here is another thing that pilots of the A-320 (and subsequent series) might want to concern themselves with and that is uncommanded retraction of the flaps during takeoff or worse yet, uncommanded extension of the flaps during cruise. The uncommanded retraction during takeoff occurred two years ago on an Air Canada A-320 but it was unreported to the Certification authorities or, Airbus. Because of this, other operators are unaware of the possibility of this happening on their aircraft.
To recover from this situation the Air Canada pilot used every ounce of available power from the engines and even with that he almost did not make it.
