I put a 172 down on that bad boy!

Technically, reversers shouldn't matter. Demonstrated (certified) landing distance is based on no reverse thrust.

Geez...you must have had plenty room on that approach. 8500ft... Thats plenty room... Land.... rotate- lift off.. flare and land again...in a 172.

My guess is that after touchdown a pack of chupacabras ran out onto the runway. The FO, knowing how rare and special these creatures are, decided the ecologically sound thing was to sacrifice the plane and passengers safety to protect them. |
Regional jet? From LAX to SAT?? <insert sarcasm here>

If on a short runway like the one that is left open at SAT...with normal braking on the CRJ-200 the pnuematic reversers barely have time to open by the time you hit 80 knots anyways. They have to be the slowest opening reversers on any plane out there.
edit: last time I was there (a month or so ago?) it was a pretty short runway that was still open... 8500 certainly isn't very short. Blame a mechanical issue or a roving group of mexican immigrants in that case. |

Since nobody else has said it, I will.
Just glad everybody walked away. |
