What effect does MAX selection have on spoiler behavior?

What effect does MAX selection have on spoiler behavior?

• A. Roll input on the outboard panels is reduced; ground lift dumping still uses all 6 panels
• B. Roll input on the inboard panels is reduced; ground lift dumping disables
• C. All spoilers retract
• D. Ground spoilers activate only with autopilot engaged

Answer: (A)

MAX selection changes how the spoiler system responds to roll inputs by dampening the effect of the outboard spoiler panels. In this mode, the outboard panels deflect less for roll commands, reducing their contribution to roll sensitivity and keeping handling more stable. At the same time, when spoilers are used for ground lift dumping during landing, all six spoiler panels still deploy for maximum lift reduction and braking. So the behavior described—reduced roll input from the outboard panels, with ground lift dumping using all six panels—fits what MAX does. The other statements don’t align with how MAX alters spoiler distribution or with how ground spoilers operate on the Global 6000.
