I am told that a single engine landing on a B737 requires a MANDATORY application of max reverse thrust.

I don't undrestand why.

Max reverse thrust in a x-wind could exaggerate problems with control on the ground.

Selection of auto brake at a higher than required setting will ensure adequate stopping. (manual braking is still available)

RT application neutralizes auto brake.

So why is Max RT Mandatory?

I believe the requirement comes from Boeing.
