Why on earth would anyone want a serving of
that pudding?
FAA and the manufacturer both caution against the use of excessive reverse thrust due to rudder blanking.
Why would a pilot want to nullify the effectiveness of a primary aerodynamic control with improper (per the guidance of both the mfg and the FAA) application of reverse thrust?
And subsequently try to use more of the same ill-advised technique to salvage the self-induced situation?
The preceding aircraft (landing 3 minutes earlier than the accident airplane) was also an MD-88 operated by the same carrier. They landed safely.
Would there be any "pudding" to be derived from that information?
