Believe me, that it is exactely what has happened.

And if TCK was not up to speed, you guys should be happy about it.

If you like my posts, then copy them or quote them, if not then ignore them.

I will have my final say on this issue shortly. Just checking some cultural values on stopping distances on the A 340 using reversers only.

I am almost sure you can get the A 340 slowed down to around 60 kts using reversers only in less than 2500m. Good to know, if I would on it I would make sure I knew what I can do with it.

Any crew flying this model should have a good idea about that, since they do it after every landing. With such a performing wing and approach speeds at 1.2 V stall thanks to the Flight By Wire this bird should not cause many problems if you loose the anti skid.

Any A 340 drivers who have a cultural value on this?

I think it is a usefull figure since it makes you completely independent of braking action.

Any feedback on this issue ?
