767 Reverse Thrust
Enjoyed my first flight on a 767 recently into JFK. On touchdown, the pilot used only wheel braking and spoilers. I thought that reverse thrust was standard operating procedure. The aircraft was a Delta -300. Do pilots have a free rein, or is this an effort to reduce engine wear, fuel consumption etc.? Just a query from a keen PPLer. Also flew on to Orlando on a 737-200. Have to say that I was very impressed by both Delta pilots - they seemed to have a real concern for passenger comfort. Touchdown at Orlando was as perfect as I have encountered.
