I once landed with a Qantas 747-400 in Frankfurt, Germany and they didn't use reverse thrust. I was able to ask the pilot afterwards and he said, because it was a landing in the morning (around 7ish) he tried to avoid noise disturbance. Otherwise it would have cost more money for the airline. Normal procedure though.

@nj4ck thrust reversers are normally used if operative...don´t know what you mean by "featured".
-
it´s a tailwind landing...

@flchange In all the times I've been in a commercial plane only about 50% of the landings featured thrust reverse.

Its about the length of the runway. I've seen enough landings without thrust reversers. Like the fokker 70's dont use thrust reversers that often when they land at the polderbaan. It could ofcourse happen that they use the thrust reversers, but that depends on the weight and length of the runway. A runway like de polderbaan at Schiphol airport is long enough for small aircrafts wich are not so heavy to land without extra help from the thrust reversers. But it is a absolutely a nice video.

Maybe it's a Touch and Go

@0Meaty Then you're a veeery baaad pilot, if you forget sth

niiice landinding!
spoilers extend normally. The fact that he didn`t use thrust reversers is not something abnormal at all. One of them might have been out of service and the pilot chose not to use the other one. It also depends on how long the rwy is and where the pilot wishes to vacate it. The most common thing to do in twins is to use the ones available regardless of rwy length and exit point but you never know.

oh come on, pilots calculate the runway distance needed with autobrakes set on, there is no need for the reverser, on the other hand the video beautifully shows how smooth the smaller bobbies (737/3/4/5) are :)
