T/R use at Eagle

[7574EVER]

Okay it's late and I'm bored so I'll toss out a radom question.

I've heard that Eagle never uses reverse thrust on the ERJ's. Any truth to this? Whenever I've flown on Eagle I've never heard any spool up on landing; but, just figured they were in idle reverse only.

So do you folks never touch the levers at all or just throw it into idle reverse?

I know this is a trivial question that would be better suited for airliners.net.....but like I said....I'm bored and curious.

go to bed......

haha. Already tried that and it wasn't working out. So, I'm posting useless questions on flightinfo.

I don't remember exactly, but I think if the runway is over 6000 feet, T/R is not used unless it's an emergency.

I heard at jet blue they dont use reverse thrust unless an emergency/ runway conditions are predicated. They have a contract for 'free' brake pads so it is economically better for them.

 

[Bruno82]

Thrust reversers are used sometimes.

If the runway is 7000 ft long or less or if it's contaminated, use of THRUST REVERSERS (if I hear the media call these "reverse thrusters" one more time, I'll scream) in IDLE is approved.

Of course, in emergency situations (to prevent a runway excursion, etc.) FULL reverse thrust can be used. At no time can an intermediate setting of reverse thrust be used.

Something about excessive wear on the actuators has driven this policy (perhpas they're an economy version). In reality, the reverser funds that we were paying out has just been shifted to brake replacement.

you're pontificating regarding reverse thrusters and yet you call brakes breaks.......

Ding, ding, ding.

Whoops..............That's a typo.

The other is an error in concept.

but, I'll correct it.

and thats all just on the ERJ

I think the real reason you can't use reverse is because the EMB is such a piece of junk that it might break apart if you did use reverse. Recycled Brazilian beer cans held together with bamboo straps.

 

[LewisU_Pilot]

Eagle fly is dead on. Right out of the AOM 1. No need to use them when we don't need them. I also heard it is cheaper to replace the brakes then fixing the RV.
