Default A question on reversers

No

Vref is 1.3 Vso and even at higher speed float is not a real
problem, you fly the pitch attitude to a firm landing and
deploy the spoilers. Most jet aircraft have a nose down,
negative wing angle when the nose wheel is on the surface.
You can "plant" a jet and keep it on the ground without the
problem of ballooning off the ground that most light
aircraft encounter.

If you are out of the proper position, the proper procedure
is a go-around.

BTW, it seems you are trying to learn about paining aircraft
(decoy) and how to "speak" pilot, is there any ulterior
motive such as passing a security check with a stolen
airplane painted away from a professional shop and flown by
a crew that isn't qualified?
