There was barely a second between the first indication of a primary computer fault and the call for reversers to deploy. Once you select reverse thrust, you cannot go around under any circumstances.
- strogonoff 5y agoIt’s an interesting scenario. Your wheels touch the ground; you engage reverse thrust and it instantly fails; you are rolling at dangerous landing speed but now can’t go around? Relatedly, I wonder why did the pilots not engage the regular brakes ASAP.
- avianlyric 5y agoNot quite, reading around it seems that flight planning requires you to assume that reverse thrusters and ground spoilers don’t work. So you land, your reverse thrusters immediately fail, and you’re now required to stop using your manual breaks and consume all of the breaking distance you originally planned for, with presumably a bit of margin on top.
