737 All flaps up landing -a question on airmanship

I concur with the original posting in conjunction with the Boeing recommendation:

"The importance of establishing the desired reverse thrust level as soon as possible cannot be overemphasized." This worked successfully only several weeks ago on an 8600 foot strip.

This recommendation seems to over-ride whatever the pilot in command decides to do regarding either using, or not using, auto-brake facility.

Full or partial flaps up landings are not as rare as imagined. Nor is the possibility of an asymmetric landing due to in flight engine out condition.

Does anybody have any experience of the combination of these two events on a restricted strip?

N

ps. I guess it's best tested on a somewhat longer strip for those lucky test pilots.
