Other factors involved
Certainly other factors were involved in the QF overrun at Bangkok. Where to start? Contaminated runway, landed long and hot, lack of communication between LH & RH (Handling Pilot) seats, 25 Flap, Go Around countermanded without notification, one thrust lever left "stood up" and developing around 1.50 EPR during aborted Go Around before being retarded, Full Reverse not used, off the end at 88 Knots. From memory, less than ten observed actual Full Reverse landings between the three cockpit crew and few Full Flap landings. For mine using Reverse is like using Carby Heat. All symmetrical available, Full Reverse / Full Carby Heat or nothing.
