Apparantly you airline types have been using the wrong technique for landing. In todays Daily Telegraph their esteemed Jorno David Millward - Transport Editor suggests that you use "Reverse Thrust"to slow the aircraft for landing. And there was me thinking it was a balance of thrust vs drag from flaps !!!. It any of you chaps would like to try this new technique, I will keep an eye on Sky News to see the results. I know that the Concorde could do this, on the inboard Olympus engines, but dont try this at home chaps
