A flight control system for an aircraft includes at least one flight control computer that carries out a ground lift dump function that selectively extends a spoiler located on a wing of the aircraft into an airflow passing over the wing. The at least one flight control computer includes arming logic that is responsive to an input signal indicative of an aircraft parameter to automatically arm the ground lift dump function during certain phases of operation of the aircraft. The at least one flight control computer includes spoiler deployment logic that is responsive to an arming signal from the aiming logic which indicates that the ground lift function is armed to deploy the spoiler into its extended position within the airflow passing over the wing of the aircraft to assist in stopping the aircraft while the aircraft is on the ground.
