This HD video [LINK] of an A320 landing in Chicago shows that the ailerons move all the time during the approach, although the excitations are very limited from the moment the final flaps are selected. It seems there is some kind of limiting functions activated. Airbus has various versions of the aileron and spoiler control system on the A320 family. It is important to note that all these control surfaces are used together to control roll, yaw and alleviate gust loading on the wing. On the short field kit, the ailerons will move upwards on both sides to assist in steeper descent. It is very common to use spoilers for augmented roll control during low speeds, most big jets use it. It is somet

Inadvertent entry into small airmass thunderstorms can sometimes happen during the summer months in tropical climates such as the south eastern United States, the tropics, South America, etc., particularly in the early or cumulus stage of the storm’s development. This typically results in a fairly bumpy ride for the passengers, but nothing else to report. Mature, severe thunderstorms are fairly easy to avoid usin
