The previous DFDR post is interesting that in three consecutive landings, three different procedures were used regarding the TR inop #2 engine. First one #2 idle, second one #2 fullreverse TLA as per SOP, the last showing not bringing #2 to idle at all. Either they forgot or they did and the sensors thought they were not at idle.

In training I have never flew an approach with a reverser locked out so doubt if any other airline emphasizes it either. All my reverser locked out approaches were flying the line, usually on normal runways.

Since reversers don't normally count for landing distance requirements they don't get much attention. If they work fine, if they don't work fine.

When is the last time any pilot here had a sim session landing with one reverser locked out?..................I rest my case.
