I'm pleased it is not only me challenging this 'fooey'. 'I always use max reverse' -
Very popular on a 10000ft runway with an exit point at the far end, I guess.
It's called airmanship. You plan the deceleraton method to suit the LDA. I have in my time, paying lip service to the QAR, opened the reversers at idle and then cancelled them to avoid having to apply power to reach the turn-off point on a long runway. According to some here I should have screeched to a juddering halt with TOGA reverse, and then blocked the runway for 2 minutes while I taxy the other 6000'. Yes, as wiz observes, I should also obviously have been using max autobrake as well Doh! Little wonder we are seeing the accidents and incidents that are occurring. Where are these people learning to aviate?
