1. Spoilers: If automatic procedures don’t deploy spoilers, the first action is not to open it manually? It's not possible?
2. Brakes: Don’t you think the plane was too fast when exits runway, even depressing brakes 11 seconds after from where they should?
Sdruvss,
  1. The short answer: No, the ground spoiler deployment is an automated function. A longer technical answer can be found in this post: http://URL="http://www.pprune.org/fo...46#post3456346

  2. I don't know. There are too many variables that we don't know about or can't properly assess for anyone here to draw a conclusion about whether the brakes worked as they should. The same would go for conclusions about the pilots or the other aircraft systems/designs.
