You guys are getting me all wrong here. I am not bashing.

I am well aware of what the cert requirements are for landing performance. wet runway, no reversers, brakes only. What I a was getting at is that a lot of pilots would rather have use of their reverses than not, especially when the aircraft is broken for some reason.

Aircraft that want to fly to the USA must abide by FAA regulations, i.e. FAA ETOPS contraints. If they make it rule, all 3 and 4 engine aircraft that operate here will have to meet the rule. Lots of expensive, basically useless equipement but have to have it regardless.


And for the last time I am sorry I used the word idiot. I thought I explained that already. Or do you guys read?
