No idle reverse thrust from 136 kts and manual braking to reduce speed to 10 kts at taxiway G turnoff. If idle reverse thrust had not been de-selected and/or next exit taken the brake fires and resulting comedy at the 'gate' would not have occurred. The ATSB Investigation Report in my opinion was generous to QF.
Sure. A bunch of errors and the holes lined up. How is this relevant to an airline professing over VHF they’d willingly exceed limits?
Is expressing surprise that a carrier would publish over VHF their willingness to exceed certified limits making a mountain out of a mole hill Haughtney? Maybe they did get a 7 knot overshoot ‘approaching the flare’ and landed within certified limits. The fact they broadcasted that they were prepared to accept more? That’s making a mountain out of a mole hill? Again, if that makes me an Austronaught then guilty as charged.
Anyway, I’ve made that point a few times. On to other things that make Aussies Austronaughts. Adhering to speed limits? Adhering to altitude constraints? Adhering to weight limits and flight control limit speeds?
