A300 wing question

[hotwings402]

Was looking at a A300 on the line today and noticed something.....Do they only have inboard alieron? When I looked at it shut down both inboards were hanging down. Why?

Thanks

Correct.

When I looked at it shut down both inboards were hanging down. Why?

Lack of hydraulic pressure.

You have flaperons for low speed turns right?

Thanks

Spoilerons.

I don't know anything about A-300's. But a spoileron is a complete different thing than a flaperon. Now the A-300 may have flaperons but......

The A300 has inboard spoilers that droop up to 10 degrees when takeoff flaps are set. Inflight spoilers assist in roll contol during flight.

I believe those are ailerons, Captain.

Oh yes, UPS pilots wear a fine shade of brown that rivals as one of the ugliest uniforms on earth. That's an outsider's perspective though.....if I worked there I would wear that uniform to bed each night sleeping with my paystub under the pillow!
