Landing in Narita
#11
you say potato, I say potato....
I was referring to that lever to the left of the throttles that say "SPEED BRAKES" and the EICAS that announces "Speedbrakes Armed", although if I asked a ground instructor I'd bet that "auto-ground spoilers" is the correct nomenclature.
It looked like there was wt. on both mains at :16 seconds and only asymmetric ground spoilers until about :25 seconds. That seemed a little long for auto extension, thus the comment.
Whatever the reason, it seemed to be a challenging maneuver at some level.

There was no wind there. Just a very bad landing performed by a 300 hour KAL intern. The bad landing was aggravated by too much up elevator causing the airplane to bounce again and bank to the left.

Ive worked for 2 outfits that would not even allow us to DHD on KAL... for just this reason. Now I work for a company that was loaded with the 200 - 300 hour wonders... but not to worry they are all seasoned 1500hr guys now
