Your french is pretty good. just add a *z* to "arrete" to get the polite form of verb address and it would be perfect.
Fixed.

Let me help you to keep as objective and exact as possible. Going back to the discussion about manual brake application:

1 - The information in the Article was really wrong when it stated that brakes were applied 5 seconds after touchdown. Something I think that is not controversial.

2 - Rob21 asks why manual brake should be applied before the spoiler (state) call. I think the question wasn't objectivelly answered as yet.
And I aggre with him though I am not an expert. At 140knts (almost 260 km/h) why would one apply manual brake at touchdown in a (supposedly) slippery runway to face the risk of stopping in the depths of Jabaquara (a district nearby) ?
