April 3, 201214 yr Hi all, I just done a flight from Madeira to Dortmund this morning. The scenery is from Aerosoft. My approach speed was a slow 130KNOTS and I considered not using reverse thrust but I thought to myself that it is better to be safe than sorry, so I pulled the engines back to 60% reverse. Does anyone know if reverse thrust isn't always used in the real world? Do pilots sometimes only use speedbrakes and brakes to stop if they are coming in slow? Enjoy the images and all feedback both positive and negative is welcome and feel free to ask any questions! Enjoy! :) Aaron G. PMDG Boeing 737NGX Captain
April 3, 201214 yr well yes actually, sometimes no reversers are being used, as far as I know the landing is always calculated using the autobrake setting RoyalSkies.CO.UK Youtube Vidz !My website will be back soon with new paints and videos!

Hey Darth...I've noticed on a lot of flights I've been on they'll open the reversers but not apply thrust, just to add drag. I asked the pilot once and he told me that its cheaper to replace brake pads than to overhaul an engine so they just open the buckets without thrust to save the engines.
