Question: exactly how does one inhibit (lock out) a defective thrust reverser?
Sorry if this is more of a Tech Log question, but it seems relevant here.
Translating Cowl type reverser's on the V2500, locking them out is accomplished by inserting a bolt into holes on each side of the cowling to keep it from moving. T/R's operate off the hydraulics.
Sorry for the confusion, I previously posted MEL operational procedures from REV 22, here is REV 29
(REV 29) 78-30 THRUST REVERSER
AT TOUCHDOWN REV 1 AND 2..........MAX
