Use of reverse thrust
Hi all,
I've recently had the pleasure of taking a few flights on Continental 757's and 737's.
On both types I failed to hear the expected increase in engine noise after touchdown usually associated with the application of reverse thrust.
Is this a new trend, in an effort to reduce noise, or is it a fleet wide directive, in order to save a few pennies per flight? I know it all adds up, especially with the price of fuel these days.
Any information or comment would be very welcome. Apologise if this has already been covered in this or another forum.
