Spoilers assist roll as well as lift dumping. They held in all the aileron and continued the roll rate through the touchdown....scrrrraaappppeeeee.

Baahh... It's a Scratch, I've had worse!

Throw some speed tape on it and send it out! :cool:

If that wing hadn't flexed so much, #4 would never have touched. Boeing's fault!

Yeah I know, it just looked odd that the right side is fully up before the left side ones are even moving.

Unlike the CRJ, all or almost all of the spoiler panels move for roll assist on a Boeing or Airbus. They also deploy quite gently. You can see the left side beginning to deploy about the time the pod strikes. Homeboy was holding in a huge amount of aileron!

Can I get a Delta interview if I promise not to drag an engine across the pavement?*



*recommend putting me in the -88

Sometimes, another company can make Delta technology seem state of the art. Here is a recent except from FDX regarding their latest excess bid:


Programming logic cannot currently manage vacancies and excesses in one bid, so we need to run separate vacancy and excess bids. A second bid, Posting 13-04, will be published the third week in April offering vacancies associated with the introduction of the B767.

Hey! I was merely showing the...uh, the roll limiting feature of the 747.

Carl

I appears to work flawlessly!

We have a roll limiting feature on the -80. It's called the yoke.

It's always limited!
