I have just read the posts here on the reverser ploblem and I too have had the problem. However, I get the penalty when I dont even use
the reversers. All I use to help stop the plane are the spoilers (activated automatically) and brakes. I have seen at times that I will not get
the penalty if I stow the spoliers prior to 60kts. Now based on that, I see aircraft all the time landing at the airport where I control traffic and
they they use their spoilers all the way to taxiing off the runway. Some of them even have their reverses still deployed after turning off the
runway. Based on the fact that they takeoff about 30-60 minutes later, proves that using the reversrs below 60 kts will not harm the
engines.
