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
