Trident's reversing thrust and confusing SLF.
I saw this on another forum. Any idea why this may have happened???
In 1982 I took my first Trident flight from London to Rome. As we came in for a landing the pilot, for reasons unknown, reversed engines about 10-15 feet off the ground. We slammed down onto the runway with such force that even the flight attendants seemed worried. The pilots kept the cockpit doors closed while the cabin was emptying. I think they did not want to deal with the myriad of questions that we all had ! I know we had just crossed the runway threshold when the engines reversed, so I don't think that was the issue. On the return flight (on a Trident) back to London, no such issues occurred when we landed at Heathrow.
Anyone else have an experience like this before?
