Narrative:
We were approximately 10 miles south of the airport and cleared for a visual/circle [to land approach]. We were at 4;000 ft at 250 KTS when we were cleared for the visual. I deployed the speedbrakes; descended to 2;000 ft; and slowed to 210 KTS. With a tailwind of 65 KTS at 2;000 ft and a very bumpy ride; I (by mistake) started configuring for landing with the speedbrakes still deployed.
