In the olden days, certification generally required either an additional means of retardation (ie reverse) or a distance penalty to be applied to the AFM charts for routine operation .. affected aircraft such as the F28. The answer to the OP's question will depend very much on what is in the AFM and the particular Regulators' requirements.

Ref the suggestion to amalgamate this and the other thread, I fear it would prove more confusing than illuminating ?
