Braking

A simple receipt for stopping a 777:
if the runways is long and dry, use NO AUTOBRAKES AT ALL!
YouŽd be surprised how effective reverse thrust is on this acft, you go on full reverse down to 90 kt when you step lightly/firmly on the brakes, keep rev till 60 kt.
YouŽll save tires and brakes (youŽll see how cold they remain) and fuel spent is worth less than 30 USD...
Otherwise, BRK 2 or 3 do the job.
Just my two cents. (of course there are stupid sops from the geniuses telling otherwise)
