Protectthehornet,
but I know that if you have a reverser truly deployed, you would have YAW and you would reduce power on the affected engine/s
my reading of this incident is that the spurious indication affected the two inboard engines - meaning that had it been an actual deployment, the effect would've been largely symmetrical.
I guess the point remains that these engines were at take-off power so if they were ever going to shear themselves off a la the Lauda 767, this would've been that time, but maybe the drivers took into account the fact that they appeared to still be working so worked with what they had.
Anyway... I think we agree the crew did some good flying using skills developed over years. Well done.
