our book says we can only use them on runways less than 7000 feet with braking action less than good or on wet runways when the braking action is fair or worse...lol...i think that is how they state it? probably should know this...anywho...
unless the runway is dry and long i'll use the brakes but anything less and i'll use idle reverse...if you got them, use them...
i figure using idle reverse and light braking is better than heavy braking or just heavy reverse...
that's my take...
