bill3810 109 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I posted this picture a few days ago for fun and for some discussion (NO RW BUS Pilots allowed!) does anyone know why the flaps are in the 1 position instead of 0 while parked at the stand?? Im guessing you do since no one asked before. Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbrd 48 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I can’t really make out the OAT reading, but I’m assuming it’s for venting of the equipment under the spoilers and flaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaneAE 23 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 In hot temperatures (>30 degrees C) it's sop to park in config 1+f, to avoid the wings getting too hot and triggering a spurious (bleed) air leak fault. Quite often you find the fuellers won't touch the aircraft until the flaps are up, in case they contact the flaps with their bowser and get sent the bill. To be fair to them there's not a lot of room under there. https://www.pprune.org/archive/index.php/t-598079.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill, could you move this line of conversation towards the Radio Chatter Room or the Real Aviation section of the forum? I think a lot of people are interested in these facts (without having to search pprune) but it is just more clutter in our Airbus preview forum. Thanks.

Can do but I don't know if I have the ability to move it however I certainly will refrain from continuing the conversation here, my apologies.
