Ground Operation (Contd.)
If the SPEED BRAKE lever is in the DOWN position during landing or rejected takeoff, the
auto speed brake system operates when these conditions occur:
- Main landing gear wheels spin up (more than 60 kts).
- Both thrust levers are retarded to IDLE.
- Reverse thrust levers are positioned for reverse thrust.
The SPEED BRAKE lever automatically moves to the UP position and spoilers deploy. After
an RTO or landing, if either thrust lever is advanced, the SPEED BRAKE lever automatically
moves to the DOWN detent and all spoiler panels retract. The spoiler panels may also be
retracted by manually moving the SPEED BRAKE lever to the DOWN detent.
The takeoff configuration warning will sound if the SPEED BRAKE lever is not in the down
detent and either or both throttles are advanced for takeoff.
