A320 reversers with Engine fire
Hi guys thanks for your help.
is there any restriction with using reversers with a non extinguishable engine fire?
Thanks

please defined the event.
Is it a takeoff abort, or an emergency landing?
Is the engine firebell alerting the pilot or some other alert?
What actions have preceeded the activation of the reverse lever?
What is meant by restrictions ? advice or some system design feature like the engine has already been shutdown

Presumably you have pushed the engine fire button for that engine in which case the reverser will be hydraulically isolated. Do what you like with the reverse lever it won't deploy so there are no restrictions.

On the 737 the difference in rejected take off distance with both reversers operating and only one reverser operating, is only ten feet on a dry runway. Depending on what caused the fire warning, it is worthwhile remembering that any fuel leak spraying around will atomise because of the reverse thrust plume and intensify the blaze. That is what happened with the British Air Tours (?) 737 at Manchester.
It would be illogical to deliberately reverse an engine on fire simply because it is easier to pull two reverse levers than one.
