Pertaining to B767....

The spoiler/speedbrake system uses the same flight control surfaces to perform two functions. The system operates the surfaces as spoilers to provide lateral control of the airplane in conjunction with the ailerons. The system also operates the surfaces as speedbrakes to increase drag and reduce lift in flight and during landing
