Reverser No1

Max Tow:
Reverse No1 only
, I thought may have been a command call. See previous post of mine. However, the retard call has gone 'out', which happens when a reverser is pulled. Also the next call is 'Spoilers' only a short time later. It would seem highly likely that this was an 'Indication' call.

It will be interesting to see exactly what the No2 engine EPR was reading.

In the TW incident Thrust was frozen at 1.08.

Incidently there was no 'Swing' as someone mentioned earlier. If you think about - if there was instant climb power on the right engine then the a/c would have vacated the runway alot sooner than it did. Even with full right rudder. - Brakes ineffective.

The aircraft appeared to be turned off the runway. 'Turn Turn'.

The reversing engine produces NO swing.
