[00:00:03]Question of the day.

[00:00:05]What is automatic retraction system ARS?

[00:00:09]ARS protection generally intervenes during takeoff at heavy weight.

[00:00:13]ARS automatically retracts flaps to 0° when aircraft is in config 1 + F and EAS reaches 210 knots.

[00:00:23]As the aircraft accelerates above S speed, flaps lever can be selected to zero.

[00:00:29]In case EAS decreases below VFE config 1 + F, flaps do not extend back to 1 + F.
