Default A question on reversers

wrote:
If you float in above the threshold a fair bit higher than Vref, is it
acceptable technique to chance the reverser to preclude landing too far
down the runway?

Thanks in advance,

Depends on the aircraft. The DC-8 used to allow two of the
engines to be flown in reverse on approach.
