DLC...yes good system, when associated with the autoland, which could so consistently do it better than me! in particular at light weights. although I came to the conclusion after being off the a/c for a while then back on it that DLC was not really nessesary when hand flying, just made the nose hunt up and down at flap 33, ( I know it was me not the DLC, but it was the contributing factor.
Here is a completely hypothetical ? as of course there is a limitation of no speedbrake and flap, but IF the speedbrakes are still deployed at selection of flap 33, ( DLC range) will the boards retract to the 7 degree null position, then modulate the normal 7 up, 7 down, or stay out with an alarming descent rate? one to try in the sim of course only!always wondered, never got around to trying in the sim.
