Dude (yeah I just said dude) anyhow next time you go to the sim for a PC/PT ask the instructor/ck airman to give you a 5kt xwind with braking as NIL and a snowy runway. Then when you land spool those bad boy t-reversers all the way up (both of e'm) and see what happens. Then you will understand what SLICE (and your ops manual) is getting at. On the other hand I have said nothing about differential t-reversing.
