Confidence Rating: Accident investigation report completed and information captured
Narrative:
The aircraft was on a flight from Riga Airport (EVRA), Latvia, to Dublin Airport (EIDW), Ireland. The flight was uneventful until the aircraft began its final approach into Dublin, at which point the Flight Crew received a warning of a spoiler fault. They carried out the appropriate checklist, which included an increase of 8 kts to the final approach speed. However, at this speed, and with landing flap selected, the Commander, who was Pilot Flying (PF), experienced difficulties controlling the aircraft in roll. The Commander further increased the approach airspeed, which improved controllability, and the aircraft landed normally. There were no injuries.

Probable Cause:
Roll control difficulties experienced during approach, resulting from a right outboard MFS which deployed uncommanded, most likely due to a
wiring/connector continuity issue, and then remained at seven degrees.
Contributory Cause:
QRH guidance available at the time of the occurrence, for approach speed and flap selection following a Multi-Function Spoiler Fault, did not account for a spoiler remaining extended at an intermediate position.
