Ask pilots to use minimum thrust reversal while landing: #NGT

New Delhi: The National Green Tribunal today directed aviation regulator DGCA to issue advisory to pilots to use minimum thrust reversal while landing at airports in order to cause less noise pollution. Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine’s exhaust so that it is directed forward, rather than backwards, thereby reducing noise. "The use of thrust reversal by aircraft while landing is in no way unsafe. The airlines and pilots often use thrust reversal to reduce wear and tear of tyres.
