Braking distance etc.

What about increased weight causing increased inertia to be dissipated

for a residual constant max brake parts efficiency ?

Or are you chaps just talking about normal landing weight after a long

flight and dumping the lift ? I believe glider type airbrakes would provide

better lift dumping than spoilers. This is true in gliders, so why not big

jobs ! I found retracting the flaps on power planes effective as well, though

less than airbrakes on a glider.

I guess that runway length covers a lot of shortcomings in this

department !
