To those of you asking about stopping distances with regard to use of reversers; remember that the auto-brake selects a deceleration RATE, hence the total stopping distance will be the same with or without the use of reverser. Applying the standard 70% reverse will simply reduce the amount of braking applied, hence reducing wear and brake temps.
