June 5, 20224 yr I have noticed that after landing my spoilers and thrust reversers remain deployed even i have stowed/set thrust lever on idle. There is no way to stow them. Artur

There is no way to stow them. Spoilers are stowed by disarming them. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

There is no way to stow them. Spoilers are armed by lifting the spoiler handle by dragging on the top with the mouse. You will see the spoiler handle lift slightly and show some white shaft. On landing, to stow the spoilers, drag again with the mouse so the handle drops down in to its seated position and the spoilers will retract. On the Airbus, depending on your throttle setup, reverse is cancelled by moving the throttle forward to the next detent. all the best Jane - Jane Whittaker

I can move that lever up and down but spoilers remain in open position Artur

I can move that lever up and down but spoilers remain in open position Ensure that by up and down, you are doing this in the vertical axis. For example, pulling up towards the ceiling and down towards the floor to arm and disarm the spoilers. You will only see a tiny movement on the handle. This is different from the up and down the housing where you set how much spoiler you want to deploy. It's not like a Boeing in that sense. To stow after landing you have to push down on the handle itself (pushing it down, not forwards or backwards). Hopefully that helps. - Jane Whittaker

Trust me, if you are still in reverse, you can push, pull, beat the handle to death, and the spoilers will not stow until you get the engines out of the reverse mode. Guess how I found that out? If you are not using "toggle reverse thrust" they will stow when you move the handle down as you state.

June 5, 20224 yr Just now, JaneRachel said: yep agreed, it is intended to come out of reverse before manual stowing. The problem that some have, is if their throttle is problematic for setting up a reverse area, which mine is, the only way to make it work each time is to use toggle reverse thrust. Hit the programmed button with throttle pulled all the way to minimum and you are in reverse. Then I always have to remember to hit the toggle button again, or I can't taxi to the gate and the spoilers won't stow either.
June 5, 20224 yr Author Tomorrow another flight, and another chance to test ur advices 🙂 Thank u all Artur
