flint,
I confess I've never operated a turbine, but don't they publish in emergency procedures a maximum ground roll when there are no brakes? That is, using full prop-reverse thrust? I mean, you can stop the thing without brakes, right? So, I guess a rough guestimate about braking efficiency on very loose gravel or grass wouldn't be any worse than using full thrust-reversers on ice, right?
