The flight crew may select reverse thrust ,which acts as an additional braking system by deflecting accelerated air passing through the engine forwards, helping to slow the aircraft down to a manageable and safe taxi speed, enabling it to vacate the runway.

Jet engines don’t like this low-density air either, producing less thrust. What all of that means for travelers is that your flight might be weight-restricted and unable to take a full load of people or cargo. Aerodynamically, warmer air is less dense than cooler air, meaning that in hot weather a wing produces less lift.

If the yaw damper is still active when an engine fails on takeoff or landing, itll automatically compensate for the yaw caused by the engines lack of thrust.
