Check out some pictures of this VIRGIN ATLANTIC A340 (G-VFAR) on training @ EBOS earlier this year...
Does it occur more often that engines are allready in reverse before touching the ground ?

It's always the case that when the main gears touch down, the reversers deploy. Even when the nose gear is still in the air. Totally normal...

EDIT: btw, forgot to metion that, there is already another (just published) topic about reversing in the air: https://www.aviation24.be/posts9382-highlightreverse.html

Welcome to Luchtzak michael_skypower.

There is a similar topic currently running in this forum: https://www.aviation24.be/postt9382.html

I would suggest we continue the discussion over there as it is dealing about the same question.

Feel free to post your question over there again.
