RingwaySam I found that video really interesting. The reason being, I didn't know that the control wheel would have any effect on the ground spoilers on the left wing.

But it is clear to me that when they touchdown with lots of left rudder and right aileron, all the spoilers on the right wing deploy but only one inner spoiler deploys on the left wing. It's not until right at the very end of the video when the pilot centres the control wheel that the spoilers deploy on the left wing and become symmetrical with those on the right wing.

Theyr'e obviously a little more sophisticated than the B737.

They also almost drove the right wing into the ground on touchdown!
