Noticed lately on several RJ flghts, both the C and the E types, no TR's on landing, and obviously massive braking....
Are these TR's MEL'd and regularly pinned, or is this an SOP thing? I'm sure BFG likes it!
Calculations to assess the actual benefits of not using reverse
thrust on landing run were done. The worst case, in which full
reverse was used during 15 seconds, causing a 117°C ITT
difference between using and not using reverse, resulted in a
18% life degradation. Consequently, not using reverse can
save up to 18% of engine life.
Right from Embraer, 135/145 Family.
Since when do I care about mx costs of TRs. Until I get to a quality airline that actually pretends to at least care about their employees, I will not care about mx costs. use TRs to my hearts content. Even on a long runway. Just don't break limitations, idle reverse by 60 knots for us.
