Re: Pulling a Stop to Runway Overruns
Spoiler deployment can induce a pitch up moment under a couple of circumstances:
1. Inboard spoilers slow to deploy cf outboards (for the straight wing contributers, remember this is a swept wing).
2. Landing with flap/spoiler defects.
I've had it happen in practice so no amount of armchair theory can deny that it takes place.
Ref heavy braking producing a nose-down pitching moment; isn't this thread about landing on more or less slippery runways where heavy braking would be impossible?
Changing a successful technique for no really good reason is the road to disaster. That applies equally to all the little personal safeguards that we build in over a lifetime of aviating.
