FULL EXTENSION – REJECTED TAKEOFF PHASE
▪ If spoilers armed and speed exceeds 72 kt, ground spoilers automatically extend as both thrust levers are reset to idle.
▪ If spoilers not armed and speed exceeds 72 kt, ground spoilers automatically extend as reverse is selected on one engine.
PARTIAL EXTENSION
Ground spoilers partially extend when reverse is selected on at least one engine, and one main landing gear strut is compressed.
This partial extension decreasing lift eases compression of second main landing gear strut and leads to full ground spoiler extension.
RETRACTION
After landing or after a rejected takeoff, when ground spoilers are disarmed.
During a touch and go, when at least one thrust lever is advanced above 20°.
SPEEDBRAKE DEFLECTION
Maximum with no AP is 40° for spoilers 3 and 4 & 20° for spoiler 2
Maximum with AP is 25° for spoilers 3 and 4 & 12.5° for spoiler 2
Flight Control Check before arming autobrake: - 2 SEC needed to operate spoiler thus autobrake.
ALPHA/SPEED LOCK FUNCTION (SLATS) inhibits slat retraction at high angles-of-attack and low speeds. If FLAPS lever is set to 0 when AOA is
above 8.5 ° or speed is less than 148 kt, it activates and inhibits slats retraction. Slats retract to 0 when AOA is less than 7.6 ° and speed is above
154 kt.

Only 8 most threatening intruders are displayed.
PWS
Predictive Wind Shear operates when WXR/PWS sw is in position 1 or 2 and the aircraft radio-height is below 1800ft/2300ft (depends on aircraft).
Windshear (FAC) inhibited during takeoff 100kts - 50ft. And During landing below 50ft.
ATA 36 PNEUMATIC
Pneumatic System supplies High-Pressure (HP) air for:
1. Air Conditioning (PACK).
2. Engine starting.
3. Wing anti-icing.
4. Water pressurization.
5. Hydraulic reservoir pressurization.
6. FWD & AFT cargo heating.
7. Fuel Tank Inerting System (FTIS).
2 BMC (Bleed Monitoring Computers) controls and monitors (bleed pressure, temperature, and valve position) each system.
If one BMC fails, or one takes over most of monitoring functions.
Each bleed valve is pneumatically operated and controlled electrically by its associated BMC
A leak detection system detects any overheating in vicinity of hot air ducts.
Air is normally bled from intermediate pressure stage (IP) to minimize fuel penalty.
At low engine speed, when pressure & temperature of IP too low, system bleeds air from HP stage and maintains it at 36 ± 4 PSI.
An IP check valve downstream closes to prevent air from HP stage from being circulated to IP stage.
Bleed Valve, which is downstream of junction of HP and IP ducting, acts as a shut-off and pressure regulating valve. It maintains at 45 ± 5 PSI.
Bleed Valve is fully closed:
‐ Pneumatically:
• If upstream pressure goes below 8 PSI.
• If there is return flow.
‐ Electrically by means of:
• BLEED pushbutton switch (switched OFF).
• ENG FIRE pushbutton (pushed).
• Bleed air Monitoring Computer (BMC) in following cases:
‐ Over temperature, overpressure, leak, open starter valve, engine shutdown, APU bleed ON, no bleed consumers.
If pressure regulation fails, overpressure valve closes when pressure goes over 85 PSI (NEO 75 PSI).
Crossbleed valve on crossbleed duct allows air supply systems of two engines to be isolated or interconnected.
2 electric motors, 1 for automatic mode and 1 for manual mode, control valve.
In automatic mode, crossbleed opens when use APU bleed air. It closes, if system detects an air leak (except during engine start).
ATA 49 APU
APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) supplies aircraft with pneumatic and electrical power. Can be used on ground, or in flight.
APU may start from aircraft's batteries or normal electrical system, or from ground service.
APU starting is permitted throughout normal flight envelope.
ECB (Electronic Control Box) is a full-authority digital electronic controller that performs APU system logic for:
‐ Sequences start and monitors it.
- Controls fuel flow.
‐ Monitors speed and temperature.
‐ Monitors bleed air.
‐ Sequences shutdown.
‐ Controls automatic shutdown
ECB sets APU speed to 99 % for air conditioning temperatures -18 °C and 35 °C. For all or ECB sets APU speed to 100 %.
Left fuel feed line supplies APU. When fuel pressure is not available (batteries only or pumps off) APU FUEL PUMP starts automatically.
Normal shutdown by APU panel. For emergency shutdown:
‐ Push APU FIRE handle.
‐ Push APU SHUT OFF pushbutton on interphone panel under nose fuselage.
