Re: Southwest B737 Overrun @ Chcago MDW

With all due respect this is about the efficiency of using reverse at taxi speeds less then 20 kts: no there is no feeling of forward thrust on the 767when cancelling reverse at 10 kts eg (maybe it has more inertia then a 737-don't know because never flew 737). Also I will read boeing FCTM again but almost sure that it says reverse should be cancelled before reaching idle in NORMAL ops.

Point is: reason for the overrun is NOT lack of reverse thrust at speeds less than 20 kts even if you do what you can in an emergency!! Yes you can use it if you think it helps!!But I think it is too late by that time!!

Anyway if that is the way moderators consider appropriate to respond to a subscribers opinion very willing to unsubscribe. Good luck and happy landing.
