No, that would be ground spoilers. Just reassure me - you don't fly a big aeroplane, do you?
I totally agree!
But what I wanted to stress is that the PF real preoccupation and first action on a short and slippery runway will be asap to set TLs to full reverse by config full
Config, where I disagree with you is in your thinking that upon arriving at a short runway, reverse will save the day. My thinking for landing on an airport that going off the end (if there is one) is a possibility, you do
not commit yourself (T/R's deploy) until you have effective braking, period. So if there's a cliff at the end of the runway, my thought is being "go around" minded, not "committed" minded, just my 2 cents.
