Thanks, guys.

Our CF6 and RB211 FCOMs are also different in this respect. I thought at first it might be an oversight, but I see now that there are differences in both the FCOM and the Maintenance Manual.

The question "Why?" still remains, however Why does the CF6 need those extra rpm during reverser ops.
