wrote in .com:: You don't need thrust reversers to stop a Citation 560. BRAKES stop jets. Given the recent revelation, that the gear appeared to be up, brakes may not have been too useful in stopping this aircraft. In the performance charts I've seen, stopping distance in predicated on using no thrust reverse. From the manufacturer's performance information available here http://encoreplus.cessna.com/specifications.chtml, it's unclear if reverse thrust was included in the 2,770 foot landing distance specification. However, given the 7 knot tailwind at the time, TR may have been a good idea (not to mention lowering the gear). It's beginning to look like there may have been a pilot incapacitation issue involved. Do you know if the Citation 560 is certified for single pilot operation? |
