For those that think "Autobrakes" are the saviour of everything, they are designed to give you a deceleration RATE! They take into account any reverse that might be applied, it is up to the pilot to make sure the A/C stops.

As for those suggesting max autobrake / 3000psi for EVERY landing are NOT thinking pilots, there is NO need for max on EVERY landing.

As for reverse thrust our company is quite clear, on a long dry runway into wind, then idle reverse would be okay, otherwise full reverse!
