## Discrepancy

WHEN SPEED BRAKES ARE EXTENDED, WITH TRIM AT ZERO, THE AIRCRAFT ROLLS TO THE RIGHT.  *S/D*  THE INBOARD LT FLIGHT SPOILER (A5) WAS NOT DEPLOYING FULLY BECAUSE OF A FAULTY ACTUATOR.  ASYMMETRIC SPOILER DEPLOYMENT DURING SPEED BRAKE EXTENSION CAUSED THE ROLL.  NR 5 FLIGHT SPOILER ACTUATOR REPLACED, SYSTEM OPERATES NORMALLY.
