davidngr Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) A question out of sheer curiosity: if the reversers deploy automatically upon touchdown it means that landing was good?

philipp Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 The reversers are triggered by a quick compression on the weight on wheels (wow)-sensor."Quick" means a fairly hard landing.Which is GOOD, especially in wet runway conditions, since you want instant traction of the wheels. "Touching" or "Feeling" for the runway, whilst greatly appreciated by most passengers, is NOT a good landing by airmen standards.Philipp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reversers will come on from the "nice to too hard" level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want it too soft, but you don't want it too hard. Reversers will come on from the "nice to too hard" level.I know this. Just to know whether that could be further proof in order to assess our landing, as it is reported in the manual: “Thrust reversers have activated when touch down (you have to do a nice landing to autodeploy the reversers. It can happen, that if you make a hard landing, reverser don’t activate". Edited October 30, 2011 by davidngr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
