Or they could be like a Lear 55 and have spoilers that aren't certified to be deployed with any flap extended. A good pilot shouldn't have to rely on spoilers to slow down to approach speed. I know there are a lot of aircraft that need spoilers during a descent from altitude, but within 10 miles of an airport, there is rarely a good excuse.
