But, I thought the spoilers on the MD-11 did not deploy until the nose wheel touched down - unlike the previous DC-8 and DC-10, which allowed manual deployment on the flare.
You get 66% deployment with MLG compression.
You get the rest when nosegear compresses.
As for the EFB - it rolls back with the window. It does make it harder to reach the locking lever but not enough to delay anything.
