Narrative:
On approach behind a heavy aircraft. Experiencing wake turbulence. Maintained slightly high on approach in attempt to avoid wake turbulence. Configured aircraft for landing but did not arm spoilers. First officer did not catch the error while running checklist. Deployed spoilers manually after touching down. Distraction due to wake turbulence. Batch processing of new checklist causes a breakdown in the last 40 years of checklist procedure. Learned that 'flaps 30; below the line' is one word.
