hello to all:

I have malaysha air lines and did touch and gos out of phily theres only 2 reverse thrusters working the 2 inbound engines the 2 out bound engines not doing anything as far as reverse thrust. its tough to land a a380 on 2 thrusters out of 4 some thing is wrong here. how can I get the 2 out bound reverse thrusters working?

"The A380 was initially planned without thrust reversers, incorporating sufficient braking capacity to do without them.[125] However Airbus elected to equip the two inboard engines with thrust reversers in a late stage of development,[126][127] helping the brakes when the runway is slippery. The two outboard engines do not have reversers, reducing the amount of debris stirred up during landing.[128] The A380 has electrically actuated thrust reversers, giving them better reliability than their pneumatic or hydraulic equivalents, in addition to saving weight.[129]

thanks for that info aussiewannbe:

thats strange that you said that I have an A380 austrailian with a kangaroo on the tail I'm flying now has all 4 thrusters. I use all 4 thrusters when I land. actally I thought something wrong with the plane when I saw just 2 thrusters working I got use to the 4 thruster on the austrailian a380 so when I changed planes I was accepting all 4 thrusters to come on. now I need to get the handle on this plane it flies a little different than the other A380.

one of these days I will make it to australia but right now I'm in mandalay, myanmer heading to thailand.
