Why use thrust reverse if inop on one side?
Please excuse my lack of pilot training experience as I am a career flight controls engineer, but not a pilot. It seems to me that having thrust reverse inoperative on one engine of a twin would be good reason to avoid thrust reverse usage all together due the the known yaw asymmetry that will cause.
It is my understanding that landing field length considerations do not count on the availability of thrust reverse and thus planning not to use it would not impact the performance decision as to whether a particular field is long enough given airplane type and weight. Am I wrong here? Is credit taken for availability of thrust reverse when calculating required landing field length?
