SYSTEM OVERVIEW (continued)
THRUST REVERSER SYSTEM
Reverse thrust is controlled by the ECU. Reverse is manually selected
by the flight crew by lifting the latching levers on the throttle control
levers. The reverse thrust command is sent to the ECU and the Engine
Interface Unit (EIU). The signal from the ECU to the directional valve
is fed to an inhibition relay controlled by the Engine Interface Unit
(EIU) according to throttle control lever position.
According to commands from the ECU, a Hydraulic Control Unit
(HCU) supplies hydraulic power to operate the thrust reverser. The
thrust reverser uses 4 hydraulically actuated pivoting blocker doors
to redirect the engine fan airflow.
