Boeing reverse detents?
Q. Do all Boeing aircraft have two reverse detents beyond rev idle, like the 737NG? |
787 doesn't...
|
747, 744, 747-8 all just have the idle “detent”, though it is really not a detent that that the levers click into. Really the interlock position. |
I remember the 744 (RR engines) having a reverse idle detent and a partial reverse detent as well as a full reverse stop. The 737-300 and -400 just had the idle detent. We were told to select about 70% N1 as an SOP which required a bit of hunting but you soon got the knack and were able to select it with some accuracy. |
I remember the 737 classic 70% N1 reverse too, and then they changed the SOP to the first detent - Made life sooo much easier! (wasn't quite full reverse..)
|
Can someone clarify what is meant by ‘second detent reverse’? Is it the 1st detent after REV IDLE (~75% N1} or is it the max position (~82% N1)?

From the B737-800 technical manual. I believe it was the same on the CL range from memory. |
Yes, it's the same on the CL.
