Flaps Lever Panel
Description
The FLAPS lever controls the operation of the slats and flaps.
The five lever positions correspond to the following surface positions :
| Position | ECAM | Max Speed | Phase |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | CRUISE | ||
| 1 | 1/1+F | 263/222 kt | HOLD / TAKE OFF |
| 2 | 2 | 220 kt | TAKE OFF / APPR |
| 3 | 3 | 196 kt | TAKE OFF / LDG / APPR |
| FULL | FULL | 182 kt | LDG |
Before selecting any position, the pilot must pull the lever out of the detent. Stops at positions 1 and 3 prevent the pilot from calling for excessive flap/slat travel with a single action.
Note: The pilot cannot select an intermediate lever position.
