Spoilers

It's something that we were talking about if it happened to us. Stop the spoilers coming up and deal with the slight lack of control (also on one eng). Not the best scenario but when it comes to keeping the wing up during roll out it would be worth it. The first dash to crash had it's spoilers deploy and the wing dropped very quickly. Compare it to the most recent where the pilot() kept the wing up til very late and the impact didn't carry nearly as much energy. Also keeping it on the runway til the very end.

Thanks for the response to the Alt Sel question. Keep them coming
