What is the maximum reverse thrust that is prohibited below during landing?

The maximum reverse thrust is prohibited below 75 KIAS during landing as a key safety measure. This limitation helps to ensure that the aircraft maintains adequate control and aerodynamics during a critical phase of flight. Using reverse thrust at speeds below this threshold could lead to a reduction in directional control and potentially contribute to a destabilization of the aircraft, particularly during conditions where runway surfaces may be wet or slippery.

Maintaining reverse thrust operations above this speed allows for better handling characteristics and minimizes the risk of adverse aerodynamic effects that could impair the aircraft’s ability to steer effectively on the ground. Understanding this limitation is crucial for pilots, as it directly impacts safe landing practices and overall operational safety.
