AgentWhite Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I am in the process of flying some patterns in the A-10 and doing some ILS approaches. I am trying to figure out if we have tons and tons of information in the cockpit and no indicator for speedbrake deployment. Searches through the manual has turned up empty. Is this a case of me going blind or are we supposed to look at the wing and the airspeed indicator? If so it would be a funny omission from the cockpit :)
wickedfastball Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Turn your head and they are right there. Or, listen and you can tell from the rumble as they open. No need for an indicator. You get the feel once you fly enough...

AgentWhite Posted January 28, 2012 Author Posted January 28, 2012 Yeah not handicap friendly this aircraft :) The configuration of the aircraft in terms of gears, throttle, attitude and flaps seem fundamental to real pilots, So I was kind of curious why this omission from the cockpit.
AgentWhite Posted January 28, 2012 Author Posted January 28, 2012 The manual didn't really help. Open the speed breaks to 40%... :D Not halfway or open them a "little bit" :)
