  1. It depends on multiple factors: landing weight, weather(wind, temperature, rain...), runway conditions(wet, dry), runway length(where you want to vacate runway, or full runway), airport altitude, airline... If you are heavy, you need bigger force to stop you(air resistance from flaps, slats and air brake, brakes, thrust reversers), if you have tailwind, you will have bigger speed, again you need bigger force to stop in the same runway length. If runway is wet, traction is lower, so you will need to use alternative methods to slow down(thrust reversers, flaps, slats, air brake) because brakes won't produce force as big as on dry runway(you would need longer runway). On higher altitude airports you need higher approach speed to maintain lift, again bigger force needed. Also every airline can establish individual procedures. In some countries just as @Andrew H. sayed, it's prohibited to use reversers in case it isn't really needed for safe landing.
  2. It's good idea, but pilots should still be teached how to fly manually. There shuld be alternative in case AP malfunction. I think it's better to have good pilots then good electronics(AP, FMC, CDU...).
  3. At that time, I didn't know how to use ATC client, so I wanted that somebody explains that to me. But the only way I get additional help about ATC client is that I get complete training. So I give up.
  4. Abnormal situations are part of real life aviation. Even if you as passanger don't see these, they are always possible. They should be simulated, but only thoes that are realistic(no hijack).
  5. I'm new here, but I stoped with VATSIM because of bad training. I'm 70 years old and former ATC in Croatia and my trainer was 20 years old student who has no connection to ATC in real life. Also I waited for training nearly 1 year.
