By no means my first go at this question and so far only one 'interested party'.

I am puzzled by the low (recorded) EPR on the number 1 engine in reverse in the final landing at CGH. If I were landing on a limiting (and possibly) slippery runway with 1 (or 2 reversers) I would be using full reverse until my stop was assured. This to me would give me a clue to the (sadly) missing mindset/briefing for the landing.

I wonder if some kind EPR driven 320 pilot could (at a suitably calm moment, of course) note the EPR for idle reverse and another time for full reverse? Please either post here or PM me with the results if you would be so kind.
