CPL Aerodynamics · Mock exam

On landing, using reverse thrust alone (without ground spoilers) to stop an aircraft will result in:

• A.the same stopping distance because reverse thrust replaces the need for wheel brakes
• B.a longer stopping distance because the wings still generate significant lift, reducing wheel brake effectiveness
• C.a shorter stopping distance because reverse thrust creates more deceleration than spoiler-aided braking
• D.a longer stopping distance only on wet runways where reverse thrust is less effective
