Hi all,
Good response mr johnsen.

I'd just like to add that:
1/ the reverse sleeves only need to travel 60% of travel before you can get passed the 'gate' and throttle up!
2/ approach minimum idle is set at around 76-78% i think with flaps or gear extended, and stays until 5 seconds after touchdown, to get better engine acceleration for reverse or go around.

otherwise i'm quite happy with your thought-out response,
Cheers
