When airplanes fly, the exhaust gasses from jet engines go behind the engine and push the airplane forward. When the airplanes land on the runway, the directions of the exhaust gas from the engine is changed so it pushes forward. Instead of making the plane go forward, it starts trying to make the plane go into reverse. As a result, it slows down the airplane. That slows down the airplane much faster than just using the brakes would.
You should engage reverse thrust just after the nose landing gear touches the ground. You should disengage it when the co-pilot tells you to.
the safe landing weight of a plane is anything under the max landing weiht for a 777-300ER it is 251290kilos
I own the T-Flight Hotas, and it does not support reverse thrust. However, it is a simple matter to just press f2 on the keyboard upon landing and I have had no problems doing just that.

Only big airplanes like Boeing need to do this. They come at a great landing speed. So, to slow them down reverse thrust is deployed and brakes are applies. Small aircraft dont need this.
148 knots
250 km/hr.
You can set the thrust idle point, which means that if you pull the levers back beyond that your get reverse thrust.
The Boeing 777.
111,115 lbs. of thrust ea.
its usually between 245 to 285km/h
No. A thrust fault is a low-angle reverse fault.
