I found this here: http://www.airliners.net/aviation-fo...d.main/233261/
Quote:
From the A320 FCOM
"FLAPS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . RETRACT
· Set the FLAP lever to position 0.
· If the approach was made in icing conditions, or if the runway was contaminated with
slush or snow, do not retract the flaps and slats until after engine shutdown and after
the ground crew has confirmed that flaps and slats are clear of obstructing ice.
· On ground, hot weather conditions may cause overheating to be detected around the
bleed ducts in the wings, resulting in "AIR L(R) WING LEAK" warnings. Such warnings
may be avoided during transit by keeping the slats in Configuration 1 when the OAT
is above 30°C."
Later aircraft have a modified system, they do not get this. Airlines operating a mixed fleet of modified and unmodified aircraft will ofter use the unmodified procedure across the whole fleet for standardization of procedures.
