Beg to differ.
I much preferred to touch down with the engines spooled as much as possible, to maximize the effect of reverse thrust after touch down.
Which SOP is that? Turboprop/cowboy SOP? In most airlines, touchdown with thrust on is considered bad airmanship and a big no-no. Thrust on touchdowns can be smoother (good for some people's ego I guess) but you tend to float and as Intruder pointed out, it delays reverse thrust selection.
I used to try and save my wheel brakes for the time I may really need them.
"My" brakes?
For what it's worth, Libreville has quite a bump/upslope in the TDZ for runway 16 and at night it can be a bit of a black hole approach.
