What aircraft?

I know of one recent incident where a reverser 'unlocked' light has resulted in an abort, even though normal starts were carried out.

On another type from many years ago, the reversers had some issues occasionally, resulting in one not stowing correctly after use. Reported later by a maintenance company after routine maintenance, that they had to do a lot of unexpected work on the reversers due to previously poor maintenance.

If the problem doesn't clear after carrying out all normal and rational efforts to do so, then returning to stand seems appropriate.

Several smaller corporate aircraft have procedures checking the reversers operation during after start. Is this such an aircraft?
