Which of the following statements regarding reverse thrust is true?
  • A
    The braking effect of reverse thrust is greatest at low speeds.
  • B
    Reverse thrust may be used for landing but not for an aborted take-off.
  • C
    At low speeds re-ingestion of the jet efflux may occur, causing overheat.
  • D
    Reverse thrust may not be used on a slippery runway.

Once the aircraft's speed has slowed, if reverse thrust is not shut down to prevent the reversed airflow from throwing debris in front of the engine intakes where it can be ingested causes overheat.

It must be closed by pilots (in a safe and normal operation) until 70 kts.
Jet Efflux; Hazard is defined as hazards associated with the blast force generated behind a jet engine.
