ARS ( AUTO RETRACT SYSTEM ) DESIGNED FOR TO

TO in CONF 1+F -> IAS reaches 200 KTS -> the ARS retracts FLAPS to CONF 1

FLRS (FLAP LOAD RELIEF SYSTEM) DESIGNED FOR ALL FLIGHT PHASES

In CONF 2, 3 and FULL the FLRS automatically retracts flaps to the next position if VFE is exceeded by > 2.5 KTS
SLATS remain in their present position.When speed decreases below VFE by >2.5 KTS, flaps return to the
selected position.
