Hypothetical Scenario #1 - Urgent Action required
Opening the functioning airbrake makes the ship symmetrical again. You've
done an "airbrake stuck open" pattern, haven't you?

All very good answers. I thought someone might mention direction of turns
by now. With the one airbrake open it may be very hard to raise that wing
again in a turn if it is the low side wing. Wouldn't it be wise to fly the
pattern with the spoiled wing on the high side of the turns? ie - if your
right airbrake is open you would want to do a left hand pattern? I would
hate to get to pattern altitude and discover I can't raise my wing with the
broken airbrake out after making the first turn...
