Just wondering if anyone can explain to me what a 'Wing Tip Brake' is. Believe they are on A320's.

Cheers

It stops flap/slat assymetry, by braking the the transmission line to the relevant surface, if a fault is detected by the Slat Flap Control Computer.

Hey Updraft, there's obviously a story there. Why don't you share it so we can all learn from it?. .Cheers. .mcdhu <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
