F14 Outer spoiler Desync?

Recommended Posts

So I was on taxi after making a landing, looking back at the wing moving my controls and flaps cause hey, spoilers look cool, and then suddenly the outermost section of spoiler was jammed in the half up position? Im not sure if this is intended but i asked around and nobody has ever seen the outer spoiler deploy alone with the controls neutral and wings fully extended. After cycling the flaps out and back in it fixed the issue, but then i was able to recreate it on the other wing! Heres some pictures, A replay of when it happened, And the tacview file is too large to embed so I will give you a link to that too

Hmm, a dork it seems you are. 😀

From NAVAIR 01-F14AAP-1, 2.22.4.4 Spoiler Failure (F-14B)

Last Note in a paragraph - On deck, when the flap handle is cycled to UP, the outboard spoiler module is shut down. This will cause the outboard spoilers to remain extended if activated. If this occurs, position the flap handle to DN and deactivate the spoilers. This may also cause the spoiler indicators to inaccurately indicate a droop or down position. If this occurs, position the flap handle to DN and move the control stick laterally to correct spoiler indicators.

Interestingly enough NAVAIR 01-F14AAA-1, 2.22.4.3 Spoiler Failure (F-14A)

Note does not say that physical spoilers will stay up, just wrong indications. But I assume it will stay up as the outboard spoiler module will be deactivated with flap handle up, just like it say for B.

Okay, no need to call me a dork for making sure this was intended or not, not everyone owns a tomcat flight manual, I literally said "not sure if this is intended". If thats how people are going to treat me then why should i even put in the effort?

Don't get discouraged - every report is very welcome here. Mind you there was a smile icon too.

I'm pretty used to Tomcat, at least pilot side, but didn't know about the thing and wouldn't expect it to be  simulated.
