thanks

De Facto.

thanks very much for your reply.

Using full Reversers on wet runway is necessary for the reasons you may know as a pilot
....and that is the problem for me, I ain't a Pilot.
Trying to interpret regulations, performance is one thing - knowing what it's like to fly the damm things is another.
Not all performance people can fly and not all those that fly understand performance. I am lucky that I have some really good pilots who I can run things past and they in turn do the same with me. I have met some really superb peformance people who are pliots and have knowledge of some at the other end of the scale..

As a company we always use wet runway data for dispatch (the Captain can over-ride only if the weather reports show dry AND he needs the extra weight). In additon we also require crew to conduct another check post dispatch prior to arrival on actual WX reports).

Your reply was very much appreciated and helps me to build a better picture around this statement. Thanks again
