To answer your Q. about how the a/c is operated in Europe I think the answer is 'to its limit'. Long sector lengths, max alt cruise etc. Am I correct in thinking that in the US it's mainly sectors of about an hour, cruising in the mid or high 20's? Our a/c have no reversors partly because landing performance is not (officially) improved by having them, I believe due to their unavailability if asymmetric.
As a general rule it's about a mile needed for t/o and a kilometre for landing.
The wheel brakes work really well but heat up v.quickly.
BA Connect use the EU model. Do you land F22 routinely? Do your lot do Monitored Approaches?
