WARNING:
To prevent unintentional slat extension:
• When retracting slats, be sure FLAP/SLAT handle is firmly
engaged in the FLAP UP/SLAT RET detent.
• After flap/slat retraction, do not push, pull, or otherwise
manipulate the FLAP/SLAT handle unless extension is desired.
2. DIAL-A-FLAP Detent Indicator
Indicates position of DIAL-A-FLAP detent. The detent position varies with
the DIAL-A-FLAP setting.
3. SLAT STOW Switch - amber
SLAT STOW - With the FLAP/SLAT handle in retract position, pushing the
SLAT STOW switch deactivates the slat extend function. Switch illuminates
amber. With the FLAP/SLAT handle positioned greater than 3°, NO SLATS
is displayed on the PFD.
The SLAT STOW alert is displayed on the SD CONFIGURATION page. A
SLAT DISAG alert is displayed when operating the SLAT STOW switch
with slats extended.
NOTE: Pushing the SLAT STOW switch with slats stowed and flaps
extended extends the slats.
4. FLAP T.O. SEL Indicator
Indicates the preselected DIAL-A-FLAP takeoff flap setting.
5. FLAP T.O. SEL Thumbwheel
When rotated, sets the DIAL-A-FLAP takeoff flap setting for any flap setting
between 10° and 25°.
6. Go-Around Gate
Prevents retraction of the flaps to less than 28° until lifting pressure is
released (the handle drops into the 28° detent) and then reapplied (the handle
passes through the gate).
7. 0° EXT Detent Gate
Prevents retraction of the slats with the flap handle at 0°.
