Kevin_H. 1 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Hello Again, I just witnessed on my Flight from Vienna to Frankfurt, during descend i had to deploy the Speedbrakes, i open them fully and left them there for a bit. After a bit of time, unfortunately i cant say how long it took the ECAm Warning came with the Sound that the Speedbrake is still deployed, but just after the Sound it disappeared and then came again and so on and so on. It was just like, BING, short flash on the ECAM, nothing, BING , short flash on the ECAM.. I am not quite sure if thats the Right behaviour Best Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgreenwo 117 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 This will happen if the auto thrust has to add power to maintain decent speed. Did the ECAM still sound after retracting the spoiler? watch the decent tracker (purple circle) on your altemeter. If you catch the decent path and the spoiler is still extended the aircraft will nose up and add power as you will be too slow to maintain the decent glide path hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin_H. 1 Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 Thank you for the Answer, but is it really "hopping" from one state to the other ? So that you hear the ECAM Warning Sound every 2 Seconds ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 1, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted August 1, 2018 Well if you have the speedbrakes deployed so much the aircraft has problems maintaining the correct glide path a warning seems logical.

Kevin_H. 1 Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 The Warning is Logical and normal that the Aircraft reminds you that the speedbrake is still deployed, BUT as far as i know do you get first a SOFT Warning without any sound and after a Time again a ECAM Warning that the Speedbrakes are still deployed. Yes its hopping around, it comes on the ECAM with the sound, then it disappears without doing anything, then again after a couple of seconds it comes again, and so on and so on. I will try to reproduce it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 1, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted August 1, 2018 It is not normal procedure so it might be we just did not model it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin_H. 1 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Actually it is a Normal procedure to use the Speedbrakes to get more Drag during descend.. and after i deploy them to slow down i always get this annoying message with the warning sound...

Kevin_H. 1 Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 Just to make a follow up, is anybody looking into this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 14, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted August 14, 2018 We are only able to recreate it is the spoilers are left out when they should be in. Are you sure you don't see the engines spool up when the spoilers are still up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin_H. 1 Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 Its okay to give the Message, BUT not every 2 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 14, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted August 14, 2018 You got any information that shows it should be less? That 2 second is more or less the standard for these kinds of messages and I can't find any information that shows me it is different for this one.

Kevin_H. 1 Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 But its always like ON / OFF / ON / OFF / ON / OFF, always with the Warning Sound in between Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin_H. 1 Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 Reacreating should be simple, descend with vertical speed 1800 or 2000 ft/min and speed 270 or speed 250 knots indicated ! And then try to Hold the Speed, in this case you NEED the Speedbrakes, and when you deploy them the Warning immediately comes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaschaBr 24 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I think in these cases maybe it would help if the trigger for the warning should be for example 250knots for Warning ON and 245Knots for Warning OFF. Because when the A/C speed is staying around 250knots the warning will come and go all the time. So a delayed trigger would maybe help ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs masterhawk 799 Posted August 15, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted August 15, 2018 Hi, the trigger for the message is just the engine vs. spd brk. There is no soft warning. Please login to display this image. At that is how it is modeled. I never had any problems during my flights. Can you please post a screenshot of the PFD with FCU and EWD when it happens again?

SaschaBr 24 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Ok next idea which is only a fishing but if for example the joystick has an not really correct 0% and the joystick 0 is jumping for example between 0.00% and 0.05% then the trigger should come ? Because i think we all know that a pontentiometer sometimes get old and not really can see the 0.0000001% of movement. At this point we may can say its a joystick problem but yeah the other way can be to give the IDLE description a 0% to 0.9%. like a deadzone. But its only a idea if the problem is related to this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its only a idea if the problem is related to this issue. If you fly with auto throttle it is not a joystick problem, else try setting a deadzone. Next, are you extending the speed brake full? Try settings 1/4 or 1/2. I have the speed brake on one axis of my saitek throttle. Your speedbrake setting is likely to much, so thrust is added—>message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I think this is exactly what's happens. When we are too high and to fast and we deploy the speed brakes, the target speed is reached before the target altitude. At this point the FMA A/THR mode is switching from THR IDLE to SPEED endlessly (eg on the screenshot 43% of N1). Few seconds before I take this screenshot I got the DRAG message on the PFD and SPD BRK warning on the ECAM on the same time Please login to display this image.

Deputy Sheriffs masterhawk 799 Posted August 17, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted August 17, 2018 Really strange. Never had that. Please, can you upload a saved flight prior this situation. As I see, you did a managed des with a/thr. It is always working flawless for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
