[hetfield]

Any operator who is using that button per SOP?

Thx

[Wings Of Fury]

yes, thats one.

[prez]

Absolutely. Positively. Every time. "Norms onboard"

[tubby linton]

Hetfield can you give us a little more info on you query?

[hetfield]

@tubby linton

With respect to the SPANAIR accident and what MAY have caused it, pushing that little button before take off should be SOP.......

[tubby linton]

It certainly is in my company on all the airbus(airbi?) types.

[hetfield]

o.k.,

so actual score is 3:1

[aguadalte]

Yes per SOPs from the A310 to the A320/19/21 and A330/340.

[Double Hydco]

Yes, used to use it on the A300B4 as SOP, and now on the A320. Can't think of a reason you wouldn't use it?

Cheers, DH

On our A300-600 we do the check before every TO......

[bobrun]

yes, we press it before every departure. But even if you don't, the same "test" will be perform automatically when the pilot applies take-off power.

But even if you don't, the same "test" will be perform automatically when the pilot applies take-off power.

Yes but I'm afraid the t/o warning may fail (SPANAIR?)

If the test via button fails you know something is wrong.
