Speed Brakes
In flight, manually moving the spoiler lever
aft will extend the four flight spoilers to serve
as speed brakes. When used as speed
brakes, the spoiler panels will extend
symmetrically up to a maximum of 35
degrees.
In flight, if the speedbrakes are extended
with the flaps extended 6 degrees or more,
the Spoiler/Flap Extended light on the
overhead annunciator panel and the
Master Caution light will come on, and a
warning horn will sound accompanied by
the word “Speedbrake”.
On the ground, if either throttle is advanced
with the spoiler lever not fully forward, the
take-off warning horn will sound
accompanied by the word “Spoilers”.
Ground Spoilers
There is one inboard Ground Spoiler panel
on each wing. These panels are locked
down in-flight and electrically unlocked on
the ground. The Ground Spoilers will only
operate during landing and rejected take-
offs.
Spoiler Operation – Take-Off
The spoilers are armed for take-off by
squeezing the spoiler handle and raising it to
the armed position. Arming the spoilers for
take-off without positioning the AUTO BRAKE
selector to TO causes the take-off warning
horn to sound (when the throttles are
advanced) accompanied by the words
“Auto brake”. Likewise, positioning the AUTO
BRAKE switch to TO without arming the
spoilers will cause the take-off warning horn
to sound accompanied by the words “Auto
Spoiler”.
When the throttles are retarded to idle and
reverse thrust selected during a rejected
take-off, the spoilers will automatically
deploy and initiate automatic braking. All
spoiler panels will be extended to 60
degrees. Auto spoilers and auto brakes are
applied until pilot takeover, by stowing the
spoilers, or the airplane comes to a full stop.
Spoiler Operation – Landing
At main gear wheel spin up or nose strut
compression, the spoilers are automatically
deployed and extended to 60 degrees.
In the event of a go-around, the spoilers will
automatically retract upon advancing the
left throttle lever.
Flaps System
There are two flap segments on the trailing
edge of each wing. The segments are
interconnected to form one flap on each
wing.
Flaps may be positioned in any of six
permanent detents in a 0 to 40 degree
range by movement of the flap/slat handle.
Available flaps detents in the Super 80 Pro
are: 0, 11, 15, 28 and 40 degrees.
