As usual, it depends....

Under British Civil Air Regulations, there is a weight penality with a thrust reverser (any one reverser, not just number two) unserviceable, on the Lockheed three-holer.

This includes dry runways, if I recall correctly.

Mutt has indicated correctly otherwise...ie: FAA (and others).

Had a discussion about this very subject with a real wiseguy co-pilot some years ago, and I told him to look it up in the big book that was always carried onboard...the one that said 'Lockheed California Company, L1011 Aircraft Flight Manual', on the cover.

He was a wiseguy no more.
