737 NG Thrust Reverser Activation and Test

[@CharDarwin]

This is great. I'm currently in the middle of a 737 ng type course. We just finished talking about reverses. It's helpful to see them operating.

[@gregoriperalmannn]

were r u now?

[@cavsh00ter]

Cool always wanted to see how that works

[@derjoh1986]

Needed a little more lighting to actually see you how the reverser doors actually work.

[@kbalakan]

thank you for video

[@skechers620]

Thanks!

[@mattjaki2500]

what is the function of the target? im newbie. can someone explain please.

[@joemeyer6876]

Zaki Mustafa the target moves over a proximity switch, which sends signals to stop the thrust reverser mechanism.

[@NicholasRiviera-Dr]

The thrust reverser sleeve lock proximity sensor supplies a hydraulic actuator lock/unlock signal to the engine accessory unit (EAU). The EAU uses this signal for these functions: - Normal T/R stow control - Auto-restow control - Fault logic and fault indication

Interesting stuff.

Good morning sir.

[@DamianDeEu]

What is the correct procedure in case of the thrust reverser failure on the touchdown?

[@TheMnvista]

Nothing. Just use spoilers and wheel brakes.

[@mmomsboy]

Go around I think and around and around

[@SalafusShalihWay]

​@@mmomsboy after the touchdown, what's the point of going around, it's actually dangerous to lift off with a reverser fault condition, what if the reverser is deployed ?

[@panditarahul2008]

thank u vry informative

[@calvinrovinescu6166]

Cool. Those hydraulic pumps sound awful though.

[@norbert.kiszka]

Maybe, but its still better sound than cheap servos with cheap plastic gears in many RC planes. Everytime when I hear it, I see one doing flight in 737 MAX style.

[@calvinrovinescu6166]

@@norbert.kiszka that's true. I just like the other option for them on the 737 better.

German speaking? I thought Spanish for a second. Either German or Dutch I'm guessing :)

[@officergregorystevens5765]

Ah. Dot NL, Dutch then. Cool.
