1 Forward Thrust Levers
• controls engine thrust
• cannot be advanced if the reverse thrust lever is in the deployed
position.
2 Reverse Thrust Levers
• controls engine reverse thrust
• cannot select reverse thrust unless related forward thrust lever is at
IDLE.
Note: Reverse thrust lever is blocked at reverse idle position until related thrust
reverser is more than 60% deployed.

preventing forward thrust lever from moving. Terminating reverse thrust
removes locking pawl and restores forward thrust lever movement ability.
