A320 Roll spoilers question

1

Did the A320 have roll spoilers? In this video I saw the roll spoilers activate but when you do it now they don’t.

Nope, those are just normal spoilers. You used to be able to get them to go up that high on ground, but they changed it a while ago.

So it was a thing back then and they changed it because the new aircraft that have them now is

737 Max 8
A380
TBM-900
208 Carvan

Hopefully the A320 and A321 Neo’s

Well what I meant is that they could go high when testing systems like in the video

Arming the spoilers while on the ground used to raise them. This feature was taken away a couple years ago when auto braking was introduced.

I used to arm the spoilers on the ground to simulate roll spoilers before auto braking was introduced.
