When in use, the spoilers rise to a preset position; they then extend or retract as the elevator column is pushed or pulled to increase or decrease the rate of descent.

(737 MAX - FBW Spoiler System)

Wild. The MAX has Direct Lift Control like the L-1011? To bad that's not used under normal circumstances.
