avionero:
the first time in the sim for this type, without any briefing, the thrust reverser deployed just after takeoff. our sim instructor said, without looking at any checklist, what makes sense to try to fix this?
so we tried to stow the reverser...unable
and then we cut the fuel to the engine
and then we flew around the pattern and landed like we would on one engine, because we were now on one engine.
Remember a thrust reverser does not reverse 100 percent of thrust...perhaps 60 percent at max thrust is reversed...and at idle, its not too bad.
