Reverse thrust is the first thing you want to see on a short wet and slippery runway.
TR are most effective when the aircraft has just touched down and is about to decelerate.
I can agree with that if I know for sure that the spoilers will deploy. But if the spoilers do not deploy, what then?
If reverse has not yet been selected, I have the option to take it back up and sort out the problem.
If reverse has been selected, I no longer have that option.
I am waiting to hear from AB pilots what can be done next to assure a stop on the remaining runway if the spoilers fail to deploy.
