Another rejected landing that went wrong:
Runway excursion - Boeing Co 747-438, VH-OJH, Bangkok Airport, Thailand, 23 September 1999 with a similar degree of confusion. Again, a non-standard Flaps 25 / Idle reverse pushed by the "beancounters" was trained into the pilots, and on "the day" it all turned bad.
At no stage during the landing roll did the crew attempt to select either idle reverse thrust or full reverse thrust. There was no comment on the CVR regarding reverse thrust.

Again confusion in everyones mind led to this high profile over-run.
