Alpha lock speeds
The alpha/speed lock function is activated when: 1. Alpha exceeds 8.6 or 2. Airspeed falls below 148 knots Results of alpha/speed lock function: Retraction from position 1 to position 0 is inhibited. Inhibition removed when: 1. Alpha falls below 7.6 or 2. Speed exceeds 154 knots. Alpha/speed lock function not active if: 1. Alpha exceeds 8.6 or airspeed falls below 148 knots after pilot has moved the flap lever to 0; or 2. Aircraft is on ground with speed less than 60 knots.

When is PTU inhibited?
- When parking brake is set with only one engine master in on position . - When nose wheel steering disconnect pin is installed and only one engine master is on. - When PTU switch is off - during cargo door operation ( continues approx 40 sec after door operation)
95
Alpha lock
This function inhibits slat retraction at high angles of attack and low speeds. The SFCCs use corrected angle-of-attack (alpha) or airspeed information from the air data inertial reference units (ADIRUs) to key the inhibition of slat retraction. If alpha exceeds 8.5 (8° on A321) or the airspeed falls below 148 knots (165 knots on A321), retraction from position 1 to position 0 is inhibited. The inhibition is removed when alpha falls below 7.6 (7.1° on A321) or when the speed exceeds 154 knots (171 knots on A321). This function is not active if: – Alpha exceeds 8.5 (8° on A321) or the airspeed falls below 148 (165 knots on A321) knots after the pilot has moved the lever to 0. – The aircraft is on the ground with its speed less than 60 knots.
