Thanks for sharing this vid. LH is one of the better airlines.

Just wondering why at 9:25 number 1 engine reverser isn't deployed.

Hi,

No reverse on either outboard engine on the A380 aircraft.

Ah...learn something new. Strange though for the largest civil transport plane that they have opted for no outboard reversers.

But I am sure the designers would have done their homework and decided so. Thanks.

The A380 has a wing span of 79.75 m, and ideally should operate from 60 m wide runways. Many recently constructed airports (eg Changi, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Incheon) have 60 m runways, and many older airports widened their existing 45 m runways to 60 m to handle the A380 and other long wing span aircraft.

Airbus realised that some airports would not have 60 m runways, so designed the A380 with reversers on the 2 inboard engines only. On a 45 m runway the reversers on outboard engines could overhang the sealed area and raise dust and small stones etc and be ingested in the engines causing expensive damage.

Logical and plausible explanation.
