CF6-80 Thrust reverser deactivation
hi guys
I would really like some info regarding thrust reverser deactivation on the CF6-80C engines. The procedure is fairly straight forward. My question actualy is what happens when you have any of the top or bottom ball screw actuators completely jammed in the fully extended position. Is it legal to completely remove the actutor, retract the thrust reverser and dispatch the aircraft with one actuator missing? If so can any one assiistt me with any reference material with regards to this, and if not also any reference to that. I have been facing this situation too many times and i have not found the refrerence material to support it. The third party ailine we handle keep refering me to MEL 78-31, but no where does it say you can remove an actutor and lock out the reverser.
Any info will be much appreciated
Thanks
