speedbrake is inhibited in config FULL by Mad (Flt) Scientist
Mad, speedbrake in Airbus speak is a deceleration tool while in flight (spoilers 2,3 and 4), A320 gives you 50% of speed brakes while on autopilot, full speed brakes with A/P disconnected, when config full is selected, speed brakes are inhibited, slightly different system on A321.
.
Ground Spoilers:
(spoilers 1 through 5) ARMED - With both thrust levers at idle, and two main gears compressed.
.
(1 through 5) NOT ARMED - 1 REV, 1 idle or two REV (any flaps, 2 main gears compressed).
.
Manually Extended- CONFIG FULL: spoilers 1, CONFIG 0-3: spoilers 1-4
