Idle Reverse
I've heard this used on seveal cockpit videos and its been mentioned on Pprune etc but could someone explain it in a bit more depth for me? I'm assuming idle reverse means just deploying the reversers but wth the throttles at idle? Does this create a reverse thrust effect on the aircraft or does it just cancel out the positive thrust? And realise this is a very hypothetical question but what is the more efficient braking system, assuming the other was u/s, wheel brakes or reversers?
Thanks
