least one engine (the other thrust lever must be below the Maximum Continuous -MCT - notch, fig. 10).
Partial ground spoiler extension conditions
The partial ground spoiler exten-sion conditions have been expand-ed to mirror the full spoiler exten-sion conditions.

Idle notch. qGround spoilers not armed
..One main landing gear seen

least one engine (the other thrust lever must be below the Maximum Continuous -MCT - notch).
note
4.3. Changes introduced to limit bounces at landing
A new spoiler extension logic is proposed on the SEC 120 to mini-mize the magnitude of the bounce in the event of an inappropriate thrust lever position during the flare.

Incorrect pitch trim
setting at takeoff
1. Introduction
In 2008, an A330 flight crew was surprised by the rapid rate of ro-tation of the aircraft at takeoff.
Analysis of the flight revealed that the crew selected an errone-ous takeoff pitch trim setting. This trim setting was based on a Takeoff Center of Gravity (TOCG) deter-mined through a simplified load and trim sheet calculation method. This TOCG did not correspond with the aircraft’s CG at takeoff.
This event highlights three issues: qThe AFTER START proce-dure, which calls for the setting of the pitch trim according to the CG indicated on the ECAM, was not properly applied. qThe pitch trim setting was set according to a load and trim sheet TOCG instead of the ECAM CG. qThe TOCG on the load and trim sheet was erroneous, because of the simplified TOCG calculation method.
The aim of this article is to: qExplain why this simplified TOCG calculation method can lead to differences between the calculated TOCG and the real TOCG at brake release. qPropose an improved simplified TOCG calculation method. qHighlight the existing Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) re-lating to the TOCG.
