Maximum reverse thrust detent position is which number?

Maximum reverse thrust detent position is which number?

• A. No. 3
• B. No. 1
• C. No. 2
• D. Full reverse

Answer: (C)

Detents on the thrust reverser control are fixed, repeatable positions that keep the system within safe limits. The maximum reverse thrust detent is the second detent from idle. This position provides enough reverse thrust to help decelerate on landing while staying within the engine and airframe limits. The first detent would give less reverse thrust, not the maximum, and the third detent would exceed the standard maximum used for normal ops. “Full reverse” refers to a broader range or mode outside the fixed detent positions and isn’t a standard detent setting. So the best choice is the second detent.
