Is this as great of a concern as extra fuel burn?
flx757 said:The one thing that no one has mentioned is that for any company (135 or 121) to be able to power back, they must be authorized to do so under Ops Spec C065

CrewResearch said:He told me that the airline he works for does not "allow" using reverse thrusters for anything except after landing to stop/slow the a/c. However -- he said he once used reverse thrusters to back up the a/c (a B727) enough to turn onto a taxiway, after "running out of room" due to fierce wind blowing the a/c sideways after landing, etc. He said it was the only thing that prevented a runway excursion.
Anyone else have an experience like this? Just curious...
