If I understand correctly does that mean they tried reversers, but they didn’t work so that’s why they initiated a go round?

- duxup 6y agoThe initial report indicates they did try to, but many planes won't allow reverse power unless some other indicator (landing gear down an in contact with the ground) says they're on the ground. So maybe they'll go to idle but won't reverse, because reverse while in the air would be bad.
- rwmj 6y agoFun fact, the Shuttle Training Aircraft actually used reverse thrust in the air to simulate the (probably terrifying) rate of descent of the real thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuttle_Training_Aircraft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuttle_Training_Aircraft
