Speedbrake Extension

Minimum Speed	500 knots
Minimum Altitude	None

Extended use of speedbrake at low speed or high altitude can cause your speed to drop to the stall point.

You're flying straight and level (1).
Extend your speedbrake. Notice how your speed drops to approximately 75 percent of its original level (2).
Remove the speedbrake and notice how the plane quickly accelerates to its previous speed (3).

Use the speedbrake to quickly decelerate.
