FireFox Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Curious what you think of the reverser deployment at this stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conehead Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I didn't think this was possible, due to logic/WOW switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Good technique if you know exactly where the wheels are but if you misjudge - not so much. Used to lift the Power Levers in the old King Air I flew to get ground idle in the flare - shortens the landing distance significantly. Of course all you're really doing if trying to fix the "error" of carrying too much speed into the flare with another bad technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Powick Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I don't think you could do that on the -100 or -200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 That should not be possible. The other question is: because it shouldn't be possible, why were they trying to select prior to oleo compression and wheel spin up. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 It's not possible if the airplane is in a serviceable condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airbrake Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 It is possible. I can't reference it exactly now but at 10ft RA the logic allows the reverse sleeves to start their transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thor Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 It would have been better to use speed brake instead of reverse proir to landing at his altitude, less than five feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st27 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Maybe this is a bounce and they forgot to arm the spoilers...[not sure if there is a auto feature to deploy spoilers when reverse is selected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Powick Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 FWIW................ Apparently the newer 737's are permitted to activate reverse thrust when below 10 feet AGL. (RA activated) The "squat" switch is no longer required to be depressed.........the new electronic wizardry figures out when you are at 10 feet AGL or lower and unlocks the reverser gate. Many videos of the B737 doing so on the flare...before touch down....From what I can gather one reason for the new new system was put in place when a pilot had such a "greaser" that the squat switch, for some reason, did not activate and the aircraft went of the end.......slowly. With altitude, (AGL), sensing and the squat switch, there should be no reason now for not being not being able to employ reverse thrust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudder Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 B737 FCOM: The thrust reverser can be deployed when either radio altimeter senses less than 10 feet altitude, or when the air/ground safety sensor is in the ground mode. Movement of the reverse thrust levers is mechanically restricted until the forward thrust levers are in the idle position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
