Squawk 7777

Correctamundo re spoilers. If you're out for a spot of aquaplaning the a/c helpfully leaves the spoilers flush due zero wheel speed.

The wheel brakes are inhibited until a few seconds afer touchdown so you get-briefly, but it seems to last a while- no brakes and no spoilers.

I think this is why it felt to me like we'd sped up!
