A system for reducing a stopping distance of an aircraft may include an edge control system configured to control a leading edge device mounted to a wing of an aircraft. The edge control system may be configured to automatically command extension of the leading edge device from a first position to a second position in response to deployment of a spoiler if a ground speed of the aircraft is greater than a threshold ground speed.
