problem penalty reverse thrust

[lkn]

Hello,

i have, after each landing, a bad suprise,every time i have a penalty say "reverse thrust is prohibed under 60 kt ect"
i do not used the reverse under 60 kt
is it possible that is a bug ?
thanks,LKN

No, it is not a bug.
Most likely you did used reversers under 60kts. You have to start retracting them at about 70kts, so that when you decelerate to 60, they
are already fully retracted.
Please note, that you should not apply reversers while engines off either.

Ok thanks John

Or even prior to takeoff, or anytime while you're on the ground. You shouldn't use it under 60 for any reason, even if you wanted to pushback from the
gate that way.

To be on the safe side, I always cut it at 80 knots (depending on my use of autobrakes and the length of the runway).

I remember there was one time when I forgot to arm spoliers. I was still figuring out PMDG. Needless to say I flew right off the runway even though
I used reversers down to the wire. Moral of the story: always deploy spoliers
