The reason is that engine spoolup time is somewhat slower than for a prop aircraft and if you have speed brakes deployed you can keep a higher powersetting during the landing. If you should have to go around you can quickly gain power by closing the speedbrake while you are spooling up the engines.</P>http://aircraftbargains.com/cs/forums/thread/4100.aspxWed, 07 Mar 2007 02:32:38 GMTa23efcf1-9e75-4ff9-be18-cd9cb68b9485:4100cranston0http://aircraftbargains.com/cs/forums/thread/4100.aspxhttp://aircraftbargains.com/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=22&PostID=4100If they are used as speed brakes, why are they extended on base leg and final for landing? They use them here at DMAFB consistantly in the pattern.<br>Thanks<br>
