I've a question regarding the use of reverse thrust.
On the A340, there is Idle reverse and Max reverse, and you only get idle reverse until the reversers are at least 95% open, no matter how much reverse thrust is requested. Is the amount of reverse thrust dependant on the position of the levers, i.e. if you ask for, say 50% reverse thrust, is that what you will get? Or is it either idle or max, with nothing in between?
Thanks
Sean
