Actually had something similar almost happen me with them taxiing to the gate here at YYC a couple of years ago. Making the turn to line up with the gate you suddenly felt the whole plane start sliding sideways, the captain was quick on a reverser and stopped the slide, dumping a whole bunch of snow on the wing! |
200 ? The reversers cannot be deployed in this fashion on the CFM without likely stalling the engines.
