I am on the 800 series. Our landing data does not reflect the use of T/Rs for dry or wet surfaces... thus no corrections are required as long as the auto speed brake and auto brake systems are inoperative. I have never flown any other type of NG series. Is that company specific or actual type sepcefic regarding T/Rs... or is it because some operators may have disabled their auto brake system?
