DURING A SECOND APPROACH, THE SPEED BRAKE DID NOT ARM FOR LANDING.  A SECOND GO-AROUND WAS ACCOMPLISHED. THE FLIGHT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT ON THIRD ATTEMPT.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS GROUNDED.  MAINTENANCE PERFORMED TEST SPOILER AUTOMATIC SYSTEM LANDING MODE PER AMM 27-60-00. OPERATIONS CHECK GOOD.
