The speedbrakes on the Fkr 70/100 are very similar to the ones on the BAe 146. They tend on the FKR to be used on landings when there are high winds due to the increment to Vref on the approach which means increased energy over the fence therefore the speedbrakes reduce the tendancy to float in the flare or on short field landings again to reduce the possibility of of a Floater!!!
