777 Spoiler Sequencing on Touchdown

The autospeedbrake sequencing is designed to accomplish a couple of objectives: minimize pitching moment disturbance and ease settling on the gear - particularly for low sink rate landings. If all of the spoilers were fully deployed together, the lift loss could turn a smooth landing into a rather objectionable final drop onto the runway.
