What is the purpose of a thrust reverser system?
To create enough thrust in the opposite direction to reduce the velocity of the aircraft on landing
What are the four types of thrust reverser?

It does not not send the airflow back into the engine, causing a stall
What 3 parts make up the thrust reverser system?
Control
Actuation
Airflow direction
What is the purpose of the reverser interlock?
It keeps the throttle from moving while the doors are deploying
What are the two means of actuating thrust?
Hydraulic
Pneumatic
What does an amber indication for the thrust reverser system indicate?
