SPOILERS

PowerPac spoilers fall into two categories: those that are deployed during flight to increase descent rate or reduce excessive airspeed, and those that are deployed immediately on landing to greatly reduce lift ("lift dumpers") and increase drag. On landing, PowerPac spoilers help slow the aircraft, however, the real gain comes as the spoilers cause a dramatic loss of lift and hence the weight of the aircraft is transferred from the wings to the undercarriage, allowing the wheels to be mechanically braked with less tendency to skid... PowerPac Spoilers (Spoilers, Inc.) manufactures and holds FAA Supplemental Type Certificates (STC's) for the only "Jet Type" general aviation Spoiler Systems for twin engine piston aircraft. PowerPac Spoilers provide descent rates up to 3.5 times faster while maintaining pressurization and avoiding engine shock cooling, even in icing conditions, with kits available for Aerostar, Beech Twins, Cessna Twins and Piper Malibu/Mirage.
