Centaurus,

No SOP indicating no reverse. With 3500m++ runway, of course we never use

Fuel saving measure of course. Bugger the hot brakes.
An interesting point. What is the relative cost of brake wear verses fuel saved (assuming one would not deliberately cause hot brakes if the aircraft is on a quick turn)?
