REVERSE THRUST

Reverse thrust is used to relieve the wheel brakes or reduce stopping distances of the aircraft by redirecting

part of the engines outgoing airflow forward.

The CRJ’s reverse thrust needs to be armed by placing two switches to the ARMED position and releasing and

pulling back the thrust reverse levers.

To engage the thrust reverse and unlock the thrust reverse levers, the release triggers need to be pushed

which allows pulling back the thrust reverse lever. The thrust reverse levers allow three positions:

• Closed (full forward)

• Thrust reverser deployed / idle reverse (middle position)

• Full reverse thrust / full thrust reverse (fully back)
