I spent several hours today looking for the command to deploy the speedbrake in the DGIV with no luck. The CTRL B command will deploy the speedbrake on the original DG but not on the DGIV. WTF? I've searched the manuals and the forums but all I find are references to people deploying the speedbrakes but not how they do it.
 
It's B, I believe. I had the same problem while flying the DGIV (it screwed up a rather nice final approach).
 
Thanks Shadow but I swear I tried every key and key combo with ALT, CTRL, and SHIFT. When I get home (I use the library computers for Internet as I don't have a connection) I will try "B". Who knows, maybe I missed it because it was too obvious. If "B" doesn't work I will just have to use S-Turns if I'm too high on approach.
