aircraft come to a complete stop 2/3 down the runway by using Discing only
That I doubt. With reverse, I would believe. But small matter of blade erosion. Also I think its good airmanship to try the brakes at the end of the landing roll, before you NEED them. Specially taking a high speed exit. Don't think that would require power application.

Yeah, a few yrs since I flew things with unducted fans, except choppers and tail draggers.

I was commenting on the fact that if that deep sea Canadian trawler seems to have NO brakes on a 20 deg day, what do they do in the deep European winters?

And please guys, NOT a dig at the crew involved, I know how easy it is to sit in the pub with loads of lagers and comment.
