Reverse thrust question
I recently took a ride in a red painted E190 to YBSU for a work conference. On approach there was a reasonable crosswind but it did feel like we were coming in rather hot compared to other times I have been in say 737s. The odd part for me was when the reverse thrust kicked in noticeably before the nosewheel had touched down and with still a reasonable nose up attitude from the flare.
Just wondering if its because YBSU might be a smaller strip for an E190 and putting the anchors on is a priority to pull up in time, or if it was just perhaps a rushed approach? Is it an abnormal practice to kick in reverse thrust before all wheels are down? Just curious - as I said it felt different to other aircraft I have been in.
