Cool

Don't know the 737 but reading the bit from the fcom you quote doesn't say it can not be used, just don't arm it.

You can use the speedbrake as normal during flight but you can not arm it, so you will not have automatic speedbrake deployment on touchdown.

"The SPEED BRAKE DO NOT ARM light comes on when the
automatic operation of the speedbrake system does not arm
correctly. This occurs when the speedbrake lever is in the
ARMED detent or either thrust lever is in reverse and one of
these occurs:

#Antiskid inoperative
#Autospeedbrake actuator not retracted
#Disagreement between wheel spin speeds and air/
ground signals
#Internal faults in the autospeedbrake module."

Sounds to me like it simply won't operate automatically.

yeaup okay , makes sense , should have read it a lil more carefully
heres another one



66.The ram air system deflector doors:
a- Are always extended when the gear is down.
b-Extend during slow flight when flaps are not retracted.
c-Modulate between fully extended and retracted through the entire flight.
d-Extend on the ground only.


the ans acc to them is d
shouldnt it be c

"On the ground, or during slow flight with the flaps not fully retracted, the ram air
inlet doors move to the full open position for maximum cooling. In normal cruise,
the doors modulate between open and closed. A RAM DOOR FULL OPEN light
illuminates whenever a ram door is fully open."

Cool

deflector doors and ram air inlet doors are 2 seperate things.

The question is about deflector doors, the fcom quote you give is about RAI doors.

Seems to me...we need many more smarter pilots, and fewer so-called 'smart cockpits'.

I see you are from Delhi and assume English is not your first language, this is a part of the problem, you need to RTFQ, looking at the questions they are deliberately setting traps for people that don't RTFQ.
