September 22, 201114 yr Today I set out to do a quick practice flight, departing and arriving from KBDL. I loaded 1/3 load of fuel, no PAX, and while I know you aren't generally supposed to, I decided to push back with the reversers since the A/C was so light. I easily got going pretty fast in reverse, backed away from the gate, and taxi'd and took off. However, once I landed and made my way over to the tarmac I wanted to use the reversers again to back up, just for kicks, but this time they wouldn't make the plane budge an inch. Any ideas on why it worked on the heavier load but not at all when it was lighter? Tyler St. Peter Specs- i7-950 OC@ 3.4Ghz, Asus P6TSE, ATI HD5770, 750W PSU, Water cooled, Hitachi 1TB HDD

September 23, 201114 yr The Mechanics saw you abusing their engines and to teach you a lesson they disabled the thrust reversers. Good Luck stopping the next time you land. If I was you I would try a bribe (case of booze) to see if you can get on good terms with them again. Paul Deemer
