B737 single engine landing and reverse thust?
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.
