Spoiler functions
Quote from mm43 (post #1250):
"My understanding is that the outer spoilers can only be deployed following both MLG on the deck when landing or in a RTO above 72KT. Both outer spoilers are not used for speed brake or roll."
It's tough to keep up with the fascinating mm43/bearfoil dialogue (!) but, just for the record, Spoilers 1 are the inboards, and are the pair that are used only as Ground Spoilers (lift-dumpers). Spoilers 6 (the extreme outers) are used for roll. Perhaps someone with the Tech Manual can confirm that they (6) are also used as Speed Brakes?

The phrase now coloured pale orange has since been shown to be incorrect. See CONF_iture post #1273.
