TwoHundred
I vaguely remember something about a mechanical linkage from the throttle levers to a cast iron 'block' that could crack if the throttle levers were moved into reverse without the prop levers in high RPM
(max reverse RPM is only 1900 RPM controlled by the fuel topping governor to prevent the props from coming 'back on speed)
(As is cond lever to high idle)
I disagree with this though. Max reverse is at 83% N1. You can do this from 'Low Idle' which is 52% N1. It is just that you will reach 83% in reverse operations quicker if the condition levers were at high idle of 70% N1
The RVS NOT READY
caution annunciator is a result of the prop levers not being in the
High RPM position with the
landing gear extended. This suggests to me that until you have meet all the coditions ie; gear down and props max, you will not achieve the correct reverse operation.
We could of course be comparing different models
