p51guy Go around is not recommended after using reverse thrust but can quickly be changed to go around thrust. I never left that option out if things were going to hell in a handbasket,
FUBAR. Who cares if it is legal or operationally correct for your operator. Do what ever it takes to survive.
It worked so well for TAM in Brazil, tell me, how many people survived that one? Guys like you are so dangerous because you convince people that your own half baked ideas are based on fact when they are not. Boeing knows from flight testing it's not going to work, hence the big bold letters in the books: " Once TR have been deployed you are committed to a landing"

Unfortunately, after paxing/positioning around the planet on various airlines, I am noticing a worrying trend that on landing, most of these airlines' pilots select only idle reverse, and not select full reverse thrust (I do like the sound of full reverse being applied).
Good grief, this one again. All they do is make noise and use fuel and long runways. *When* they aren't needed they aren't used. We don't lick our finger and hold it to the wind, we use such things as performance charts to decide.
