a 380 reversers

yes FOD is the major issue to have those 1 and 4 reverser not installed.However I asked the same question to A 380 chief test pilot, Terry Lutz, his answer was "our Vref is 120kt, no need for extra reverser or extra breaking power, actually we imput our exit target and the plane slow down accordlingly!"
cheers
