Oct 4, 2019 at 9:49 | comment | added | Bianfable | I found the steps in this QRH online (see p. 66) and they clearly say "THRUST LEVERS ... TOGA, SPEED BRAKES LEVER ... CHECK RETRACTED", so they are above MCT and one should still check the speed brakes for some reason. | |

Oct 3, 2019 at 12:57 | comment | added | Bianfable | The FCOM says "If an inhibition occurs when the speedbrakes are extended, they retract automatically and stay retracted until the inhibition condition disappears [...]." And "Thrust Levers above MCT position" is listed as an inhibition condition, so they should retract automatically. | |
