>>>Transport cat cert for landing distance is done without reversers IIRC, so length is really noy the issue.<<<
FedEx1:
>>>Legacy's right. Landing data does not include reversers. (Anyway, even if the plane had had autobrakes, and reversers were deployed, the autobrake system lets up on the brakes as more and more reverse thrust is attained. Take out the reversers, you get more brakes.)<<<
Attention Attention Attention Armchair Quarterbacks of Aviation:
The 737-700 flown by Southwest Airlines absolutely positively DOES include thrust reverse in the stopping distance computations in the scenario that happened that night.
This is a perfect example of people who don't fly our equipement and people who don't use our procedures making assumptions over what information the Captain had at his fingertips.
Please, Please, Please stop your speculating.
