Salut Confit,

I see that the FCOM says Spoilers 1 act as Speedbrakes as well as Ground Spoilers. Am surprised for two reasons:
(1) The schematic posted above by mm43 appears to exclude them;
(2) They are much bigger surfaces than the others, as per A320 (which only uses them as Ground Spoilers).
Not sure if this effects the damage argument, but can you confirm from your own knowledge that the FCOM text quoted is not a misprint?

Chris
