aerodynamic braking
I watched recently a wide body aircraft perform the above maneuver to the extreme and I enjoyed the hell out of the sight. Previously I have not seen it for over a decade (741/742) and even then it was taboo. Understandably the risk of dragging a tail is the factor.
I feel like it may be the last time I will see a hands on aviator in action in commercial aviation. Am I wrong? I would like to hear feedback on the matter and a current view on the procedure.
From my perspective there is no more efficent landing procedure than this.
