No Todd. Not just you. I noticed that, too. Seemed to be a bit in deploying. The next poster mentioned something I also noticed. Never seemed to deploy reverse thrust. Maybe he was light enough from the fuel burn off after such a long flight from Houston? From what I remember, I think the spoilers auto deploy when set to automatic mode off of a squat switch in the main landing gear. Well, whatever the reason, nice landing anyway.🤗
Noticed that too. I didn't seem the flight crew use it. I suppose it's their discretion. Remembering from when I learned how to fly. Use the brakes if you need to. If don't need them, just coast along. Pretty cool. You'll roll to a slow speed.
minor correction...it isn't exactly The United Terminal at LHR, it's actually Terminal 2, or Star Alliance @ Heathrow, however UA is the largest airline at LHR's T2
is it just me or did the spoilers take forever to be deployed

It was my impression or he did not use the reverse?
Definitely doesn't sound like it, and I can't see far back enough to tell if the cowling slid back. Interesting
I was wondering the same thing
Alex Albert correct he wasn’t going fast enough so he didn’t need to

they did not use thrust reverse because there approach speed was low
Chavez Wallace The UNITED terminal was at the end so there was no need to stop immediately.
