I'm having a 'discussion' with some of my SWA brethern about RTO procedures. Question is this, how do most 737 operators do their abort?
In the Navy, ours was like this
1 - AT - disengage
2 - thrust levers - idle
3 - wheel brakes - maximum
4 - thrust reversers - max
5 - speed brakes - verify deployed
at SWA
1 - thrust levers - idle
2 - wheel brakes - max
3 - speed brakes - up
4 - thrust reversers - max
last two steps are the crux, thrust reversers first and let the speed brakes auto-deploy, or do most 737 operators get the speed brakes and then do thrust reversers.
thanks for any answers, not particularly important, just a beer bet type discussion.
