July 13, 201114 yr Hi,This is happening since I bought the MD-11 but never asked about it. I cannot deply spoliers if Slats/Flaps are extended. I think it is normal operation of the MD-11. Or not?Thanks,Fouad Safi
July 14, 201114 yr If I read the manual correctly, you can deploy the spoilers with the slats extended. But once the flaps are extended, spoilers will not deploy. Kenny Lee"Keep climbing"

July 14, 201114 yr Be aware if you trick the system like this, you will get an alert during the approach. It is not critical, but don't be surprised by it. Branton Turner
