Flaps/spoilers stuck?

[WelshZeCorgi]

Uh... sometimes my spoilers and flaps get stuck. I'm pretty sure the flap got stuck because I forgot to pull them in after takeoff and went overspeed, breaking them. Not sure if there is a manual retract flaps switch/handle somewhere in the cockpit.

 

But when my spoiler got stuck in the down position, the surface control panel position indicator said that the spoilers were full up. Not sure if this is a bug or I broke the plane. Wondering if there is an emergency procedure for this too.

 

Edit: I meant leading edge slats, not spoilers.

once they break, they break. No handle in the pit will fix the actuators. You will need to land and repair.

Follow up question, any clue how the spoilers might have gotten stuck? I thought they were automatic.

Let me guess... just the outboard spoilers?

This might help:

 

Basic explanation of the Spoiler and Flap systems. Hopefully this will reduce the flailing...

Did I say spoilers? My bad, I meant the leading edge slats.

You can try using the dlc up control to retract the maneuver flaps and leading edge slats if they're breaking on takeoff. If they're breaking on landing, you need to land softer.
