How come the first officer (with over 5500 hrs with that type of aircraft) made such a decision to deploy spoilers while still in the air? What...

Fixed-wing aircraft fly because their wings generate lift as they move forward through the air.

I'm trying to find out a formulae regarding the gap between Takeoff Distances by POH and real-life measures. I did the maths for wind, temperature, pressure altitude, runway slope, weight, etc. It's quite detailled and effective... But... The only calculation I don't know how to "translate" is...
