Ryanair SOP's
I sat there the other evening at LGW giving way to a Ryanair 73-200 that taxied in front of us through the pouring rain.
Every few seconds we saw the aircraft disappear in a cloud of spray as the reversers were deployed for up to 15 secs at a time. Loads of water and crap from the taxyway recirculated over & under the wings visibly being ingested down the engines.
We used to powerback on the -200 but is this a new Ryanair cost saving braking technique for the -200 ???
