Hi all,
sorry to bother you with this, but at one of the flight sim (!) forums a so-called real ATP B737 pilot (you wouldn't believe how full those forums are with real ATP pilots
) claims pilots never use speedbrakes/spoilers during descent or to slow down, and if they do, they are simply bad pilots.
Most other simmers say that perhaps pilots do not like to use the speedbrakes, but sometimes they simply have to: ATC, weather, icing, other traffic, etc.
So, do you often have to use the speedbrakes, and if so, does that make you a bad pilot ?
Thank you
