Use of reverse thrust
The use of Reverse Thrust to wash off speed is very effective and is how the aircraft manufacturers intended the aircraft to be operated. Full Reverse held in until below 100 Kts and cancelled by 60 Kts might disturb a few natives but will surely save on brakes. The same applies to the use of Flap for landing. The manufacturer provides a Full Flap position with the expectation that it will be used. The bean counters and the environmentalists have hijacked the operations departments to the detriment of the overall operation in some companies. How much money did the Flap 25/Idle Reverse configuration save Qantas, or at least their insurers? Not much I suggest when you deduct the $100 Million plus it cost to repair the Bangkok over-run aircraft.
