Never flown a jet, but as a mechanic and an SEL pilot I’d spool those babies up in R and save the brakes and take the next exit

Idle reverser and low brakes 99% of the time for me unless rwy less than 8000ft, then medium

In Europe. Use of reverse thrust is frowned upon due to noise abatement. They’re really just loud noise makers haha

I’m a 73 driver, idle thrust reverse and brakes 3 are always the standard.

For fuel saving yep. But man they sound good when pulling them into full reverse!

This is everyday on the A330 with full reverse if you don’t have brake fans. Nothing really that abnormal here

Save brakes to do what, more wear on the reversers? Which one do you think is more costly

Idle thrust normally except if needed for contaminated runway or performance.

I do what my company says… which is idle reverse unless max is necessary. We all know that on the cold winter day, the brakes heat up to 200+ on taxi out. It is what it is.

Reverse thrust typically reduces runway length by 70 Ft+/-
