Question

Having flown on icy and contaminated runways for longer than I want to remember, use MAX reverse!! If you start having directional control problem, slowly reduce towards idle and steer the aircraft onto the centerline. Then increase reverse.

You can stop most aircraft with reverse thrust with braking action nil, as long as the x-wind is not pushing you off the runway due to lack of lateral traction.
