Uncommanded thrust reverser deployment in flight

What would you do if you encountered this situation?

Have you trained for it (procedures or simulator)?

Has anyone here experienced it?


I was reading a very interesting and sad NTSB report about a Lear 35 which had this problem last year. The crew apparently was clueless and had a lot of doctored logbooks and certifications, so their fate was sealed, but I still wonder how the average crew would handle this situation if it happened to them.

In your aircraft, are there definite indicators that the reverser has deployed, or do you have to hunt down what may be causing the problem?
