REVERSER COMMAND Light

  • Illuminated (amber) – The reverse thrust lever is not in the down position in flight.

REVERSER AIR/GRD Light

  • Illuminated (amber) – The air/ground thrust reverser logic has failed.

REVERSER LIMITED Lights

  • Illuminated (amber)
    • On the ground:
      • A fault has occurred in the thrust reverser system.
    • In-flight:
      • A fault in the thrust reverser system limits reverse thrust.
      • Thrust reverser will not deploy, or reverse thrust will be limited to idle.

ENGINE CONTROL Lights

  • Illuminated (amber) – The engine control system is not dispatchable due to faults in the system.
  • Light operates when:
    • Engine is operating, and
    • Airplane is on the ground, and:
      • Below 80 knots prior to takeoff, or
      • Approximately 30 seconds after touchdown.

Electronic Engine Control (EEC) Switches

  • ON – In view (white)
    • Indicates normal control mode is selected.
    • Engine ratings calculated by EEC from sensed atmospheric conditions and bleed air demand.
    • When ON is not in view, the EEC has been manually selected to the alternate mode.
  • ALTN – In view (amber)
    • Indicates EEC has automatically switched to alternate control mode or has been selected manually.
    • EEC provides rated thrust or higher.
  • Both ON and ALTN may be in view if EEC has automatically switched to soft alternate mode.
  • EGT limits must be observed in both normal and alternate control modes.
