With autospoiler application in the 747, no "drop" occurs. The airplane has a natural pitching tendency, nose-up, when the autospoilers deploy. A smooth landing in the airplane doesn't produce a drop. In the cockpit, a smooth landing is heralded by the movement of the speedbrake handle, but no sensation of actually touching down.
