A320 FLAPS LEVER

The FLAPS lever selects simultaneous operation of the slats and flaps.

The five lever positions correspond to the following surface positions:

Before selecting any position, the flight crew must pull the lever out of the detent. Balks at positions 1 and 3 prevent the flight crew from calling for excessive flap/slat travel with a single action.
Note: The flight crew cannot select an intermediate lever position.

TAKEOFF IN CONFIG 1

• 1 + F (18°/10°) is selected. If the flight crew does not select configuration 0 after takeoff, the flaps retract automatically at 210 kt.

TAKEOFF OR GO-AROUND IN CONFIG 2 OR 3

• If the flight crew selects configuration 1, the flight crew gets 1 + F (18°/10°) if airspeed is under 210 kt. 
• If the flight crew does not select configuration 0 after takeoff, the flaps retract automatically at 210 kt.

CONFIG 0 TO CONFIG 1 IN FLIGHT

• Configuration 1 (18°/0°) is selected.
• Note: After flap retraction, configuration 1 + F is no longer available until the airspeed is 100 kt or less, unless configuration 2, 3, or FULL has been selected previously.
