"Cockpit Colin" wrote in message ... For what it's worth, a 757 at ground idle produces around 3000 pounds thrust per engine - you can back them using the reversers, but you can't go full power as the re-ingest the exhaust gasses. And when you're backing you must always use forward thrust to stop, and not the brakes - anyone guess why? The disk brakes would roll our of the calipers? -- Jim in NC
