Question for the AB people: What is the SOP when you realise you have no spoilers?
I might sound cynical but I'm not sure there is such a SOP... simply because it's not supposed to happen...

As far as I am concerned they made one huge mistake not retarding that T/L but once they landed with no spoilers and no autobrake on that short and slippery runaway their fate was pretty much sealed. Even if they had killed the forward thrust (which for some strange reason they did not) I'm pretty sure they would have overshot. Hopefully someone with more expertise will do the math and disprove me...
