Accidental thrust reverser deployment now ruled out
Telecinco reports the investigation is centering on why the aircraft failed to reach the necessary 210 kph for takeoff, reaching only 207 kph. The recovered deployed reverser was activated by the pilot, but the right side reverser could not be deployed as it had been deactivated since August 17. The pilot attempted to brake using the pedals and deployed reverse thrust.
Thrust setting not sufficient. Again, pulled RAM probe heater CB part of the picture?

210 kph is only 113 kts. That is certainly not the required VR or V2. Somebody may have mixed up knots and miles when converting?
