July 6, 200322 yr "The spoilers have issues as well. They seem a little reluctant to deploy and I don't get a light to say they have deployed."When do you not get the light, Rich?The Speedbrakes Extended light shows when all these conditions occur:Airplane in the air AND speedbrake lever is more than 7.5 degrees AND the Trailing Edge flaps are more than 15 units (or the altitude is less than 800').(These conditions usually occur if the pilot uses the speedbrake during the landing approach).The Speedbrakes Extended light also shows when all these conditions occur:Airplane in the ground AND Ground Spoiler Interlock Valve Pressue switch measures more than 750psi AND Speedbrake Lever is in the DOWN position.(These conditions occur if the ground spoiler actuators receive hydraulic power with the speedbrake lever in the DOWN position. This is a failure condition).Regards.Ian.
