@CrytellGames They are called spoilers. Spoilers are intended to reduce lift on an aircraft by breaking the airflow which flows over the wing. So they can be used as 'speed brakes' in mid-air or 'lift dumpers' when on the ground (this will make the aircraft stay on the ground when it touches the ground). They are also being used on the heavy aircraft when making a turn.
@Fsadon You are a moron that can't spell! It's "control" not "controll" or "controle" as you have now spelled it & it's "aileron" not "alieron" Not only can't you spell but I don't think you even fly a kite!Read my earlier statements & you'll see that I already recognize that spoilers are used for ailerons. And my earlier statement about being "heavy" is referring to different sized airplanes, not the wt.&balance of a specific airplane. Heavier aircraft usually use spoilers (excluding gliders).
@superbroombroom Your partialy correct Spoilers are also used as ailerons on sharp turns their is an aileron on the outboard portion of the wing which only has one function so yeah your right in a way.
@Fsadon Spoilers are NOT used for sharp turns! Roll-spoilers are used at slow speeds when aircraft weight is heavy, airspeed is slow & ailerons are not as aerodynamically effective.As airspeed increases roll spoilers lock in down position until airspeed drops again (descents for landing).As airspeed decreases-they augment the roll (deployed independently) or act as speed breaks (deployed together) for rapid altitude loss without an increase in forward speed or help in wheel breaking on ground.
@ILSRWY4 Correction, if pushing the flight evolope of the aircraft the same controle surface (The Flight Spoilers) ACT as ailerons, expecialy on the Airbus A320. and no not alway when the aircraft is heavy, We are required to use some type of speed break on descent. Usualy when passing into class B airspace. The full deflection of the outboard Aileron would not allow the aircraft to roll effectivly. its the same flight surface. They cause the wing to practialy stall more to get more of a bank.
@Fsadon You know whats funny- you have no idea you you are even arguing with you think ilsrwy4 is uneducated yet on the other hand he (or she) may be a 25,000 hour instructor pilot/or FAA D.E. Ilsrwy4 is correct and you are just like most typical airline pilots- know-it-all aviators stuck in a world of you own, and flying inside a box, a box that is only tangent to your little arrogant world. No wonder you are just a F.O. You have neither the experience nor the knowledge to argue a point.
@Fsadon You have no idea who you are even arguing with when you think ilsrwy4 is uneducated. On the other hand he (or she) may be a 25,000 hour instructor pilot/or FAA D.E. Ilsrwy4 is correct. You are just probably an airline pilot- thinking "you know-it-all" aviator stuck in a world of your own, & flying inside a box that is only tangent to your "straight & level-standard rate turn" arrogant world. No wonder you are just a F.O. You have neither the experience nor knowledge to argue a point.
@26Invader Excuse me- are you insinuating I'm a Know it all and arrogant individual! I don't agree with Fsadon who clearly has a lot of experience to gain yet- but not all bad apples poison the whole bushel! And frankly your statement about airline pilots annoys me!
@ILSRWY4 Dude- man! I'm totally sorry! It was not my intent to insult you or all pilots just dumb ones like "Fsadon" who like to argue "know it all" shit-
@26Invader No problem.Actually I have spent many years around airplanes & now in my retirement I'm enjoying my other love & hobby- railroading.The problem with aviation these days is much like it was years ago- very competitive, very cut throat, & you are usually surrounded by someone that wants to tell you more than they think YOU know.Don't get me wrong-I met many wonderful people & still friends with most but glad to be away from it now.Pretty much burned out on it. Trains are very relaxing!
@26Invader I'm sorry sorry I didn't answer your question.
Too many to mention- I've flown over 100 or so different types of aircraft. If you are referring to my commercial career- they include: DC-9, MD-80, B727, B737, B767, DC-10/MD-11, Sabreliner, Jet Star just to name a few. I also have nearly 4000 hours dual given.
@Fsadon Spoilers are not used for sharp turns in normal flight, they're for lift dumps at touchdown, roll performance & loosing altitude quickly w/out an increase in airspeed (i.e. Class B approaches).Normal banks are about 20 degrees, with 30 degrees a workable option when needed.You do whatever you have to do, try to keep it smooth & well coordinated.If it feels okay in the seat of your pants in the left front seat,then it should feel ok to the passengers.
Those are ailerons and they make the plane turn (roll). You can see the plane levelling as the ailerons go back down. The spoilers are situated just on the left of those.
@isabelleetbruno Your partialy correct Spoilers are also used as ailerons on sharp turns their is an aileron on the outboard portion of the wing which only has one function
@isabelleetbruno you're right that spoilers are used for roll control in turns, but that isn't the case in this video. They are open too much to be used for roll control. The speedbrakes were just closed when the turn ended making it appear that they were being used for roll control.
When they are used at small degrees they are called "speed brakes" not spoilers, when they are used in full they are called "spoilers".

A 4000 hrs CFII-MEI is a BIG difference than 15,000 hours of straight & level, and standard rate turns, checklist.
I suggest you read "Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators" by H.H. Hurt and University of Southern Cal.
You will be humbled.

@ILSRWY4 And i suggest that you research you controll surfaces. the same controll surface as the Ground spoilers are also used as alierons.
