Well I'm fascinated! What weird convoluted logic do some of you have that causes a reluctance to use autobrake on the 737? Read your company manual! It should say something like the most economical landing is autobrake and idle reverse. That use of autobrake allows several seconds earlier braking! Some of you criticise 'use autobrake every time' without actually saying why not and why you think it is better not to use a system that guarantees even and smooth braking. I've been a bigjet pilot for 38 years- I still can't do a balanced manual brake landing. Captains press too hard on the left and copilots press too hard on the right. I'm interested in ONE logical reason not to use it! I agree with the current logic that reverse is better and more economical limited to idle only. Brake units are simple to change, big fan reverse mechanisms are expensive to repair, so idle only. It helps to have something to stop you!
This place is too big, with a cacophany of voices. If someone says it's black, several will pipe up with 'it's really white, actually!' I cannot understand it.
