BA's policy is not to use reverse thrust unless necessary since it is costly on fuel - usually just use breaks except on certain aircraft i.e. old a320
oh right well there was no real need to use reverse thrust anyway here since it was such a short landing and 737s small and can slow down alot quicker
Looked a very good landing, considering the crosswinds they had, Also the shuttle survices travel quite light so there landing V speeds Would be quite slow, So they wouldent need to use reverse thrust.
Great video, good filming, Looks great when watched in high qaulity.
The reason for no reverse thrust was, because we landed on 05L, it is more fuel efficient to spend more time on the runway, and have a shorter taxi to T3.
seems to be a standard thing not to backthrust in a 757 - neither of the two times Ive travelled in a 757-200 the pilot used backthrust on touchdown.

No Reverse thrust?

Nope, this men we could vacate later, and so had less of a taxi to
T3.
