Esoteric A320 Question
There is bound to be somebody out there who can help with this one:
The A319 MEL states that if ADIRS 2 (and/or maybe 3) is inop, 'do not take off in config 1 (+F)'.
Why?
Cheers all,
mcdhu

I suspect that with an ADR 2 (+3) FAULT, you lose the Flap Auto Retraction to FLAPS 1 when reaching 215 kt.
Seeing that FLAPS 1+F has a higher speed schedule than FLAPS 2, I guess the reasoning might be that FLAPS 2 is preferred as it gives you less room for error just after T/O. It basically delays the error till later on if you wish.

Square Leg is almost there I think!
If ADIRS 2 (and or 3) is u/s then with a subsequent ADIRS 1 malfunction the SFCC can 'see' an overspeed and do an auto-retract at any time. This actually happened in the early days of the a/c I believe and resulted in the flaps going to zero just after rotate!
By selecting Conf2 the auto-retract is effectively diabled just as SL has pointed out.
