If the new Lear 45s are same as the old ones (flew the 20-30-55 series), spoilers are effective.
But these airplanes have a spoiler EXT/RET switch. Rather stupid.
It is "everything" (45º deployment) or nothing.
Would be so nice to have a handle to meter the amount of drag or lift loss.

In a classic (old) Lear, deploying the spoilers require 1 second trim NOSE UP to compensate.
Opposite for retraction. Operate trim NOSE DOWN 1 second for retraction.
Curious to see some answers about the 45 and the 60...
Thanks a bunch -
