OK, well in that case, why does the FCOM on page 1.32.10 p14 say:
"FADEC :
A/c in flight (when either LGCIU output indicates flight) - Reverse inhibited
A/c on ground (when BOTH LGCIU outputs indicate ground) - Reverse available"
The way I read that is that BOTH outputs of the LGCIU have to see a ground condition for reverse not to be inhibited on that side, each LGCIU having 2 outputs.
It also says :
"The FADEC system performs the following functions:
Thrust reverser control - actuation of the blocker doors
- engine setting during reverser operation"
"FADEC, also called the EEC, is a digital control system that performs complete engine management"
FCOM 1.70.20 p1 and p4 refer.
Either way - you cannot get away from the fact that with an LGCIU inoperative - reverse IS lost on the that side. I know that because it says it in the FCOM, I've had it in the sim and on the aircraft - it DOES happen.
Cheers all
