On the A300, it is possible to induce a forward movement of the TL's when beginning to pull up the reverser levers due to the geometry of those levers as they pivot around the top ends of the TL's. It all depends how they are gripped, and whether the ball of the hand is rested on the ends of the TL's during the first upward movement of the reversers. Airbus saw fit to include two small levers at the back of the TL's, pointing inwards towards each other, in order to hold the TL's firmly back against the quadrant stop while reverse was deployed. And who got to hold those levers? Why, our dear old friend the FLIGHT ENGINEER, that amazing aid to safe flight, (admittedly sometimes with a fuzzy logic all of his own, but never on the flight-deck). I was forced to prematurely retire from the 3-man cockpit just over a year ago, and sorry for the thread digression, but I really do miss it. Third pair of eyes and third engaged brain and all that......... There's no substitute, electronic or otherwise, IMHO. Just reflect on how many of the aforementioned unnoticed actions and lever movements simply would not have been allowed to happen in the 3-man cockpit, especially during challenging conditions and with maybe a fatigued crew. Those who have never tried it have missed something, but thats progress.....or is it?????
