BAe-146 - Tail Spoiler on Finals?
Question concerning the BAe-146/Avro RJ.

I've seen many landings of the BAe-146, both on YouTube and from watching them land at my local airport (Galway, Ireland).

When exactly does the "lift dumper" speed-brake on the tail extend? Is it automatic, or pilot activated? Is it separate from the speed-brakes on the wings? Is it difficult to fly when extended?

Thanks in advance,

Aaron.
