Throttles and Reverser Levers
1. Throttles (3)
Each throttle is mechanically linked to 2 electrically isolated position sensors.
Sensors send signals to the FADEC. FADEC then schedules fuel flow as
required.
2. Reverser Levers (3)
The throttle levers must be at the forward idle stop before the reverser can be
moved. Movement upward of the reverser lever commands the reverser to
deploy. Continued upward movement commands engine reverse power
increase.
