The engineering part of my brain has just wondered: why aren’t the speed brakes also deployed by the brake/rudder pedals when airborne?
This would be useful when one wanted to use the speed brakes on a busy approach but didn’t really have enough hands ! - one would just use the brake pedals instinctively to slow down as one does in a car.
This feature would be inhibited on the ground. I guess it might cause unwanted rudder inputs and might cause a problem in an EFATO if one used the pedals incorrectly.
Sorry for the thread drift.
