John:
They're called lift-dumpers for a reason. No stabilised approach should require the use of spoilers/airbrakes. On some occasions, spoilers are used during a descent to expedite things a bit but certainly not during approach. Spoilers seriously upset the airflow over the wing and you would need a very high throttle setting to overact it just to keep straight and level or 3deg path. In high wind or gusty scenarios the best defence is to add some airspeed, so perhaps Vref +10 or 15. That way if the wind drops off or changes suddenly, you have a buffer.
The only A/C I know of that has it's spoilers/airbrakes open on approach would be the BAe 146/Avro RJ, which has spoilers which open out at the end of the fuselage - the rear engined Fokkers (28/70/100) have this design as well. Most of the time a 146 will use these in late stages of approach, but then it is meant to be a STOL aircraft.
