Which combination correctly lists the thrust reverser restrictions?

• A. Idle thrust by 45 KIAS; No Touch n Go's; cannot be used to back the aircraft up
• B. Idle thrust by 60 KIAS; Touch n Go's; can be used to back the aircraft up
• C. Idle thrust by 45 KIAS; No Touch n Go's; can be used to back the aircraft up
• D. Idle thrust by 45 KIAS; Touch n Go's; cannot be used to back the aircraft up

Answer: (A)

Thrust reverser restrictions are about when it’s safe and appropriate to deploy reverse thrust on the ground. The idea is to use reverse thrust only during deceleration when you’re on the runway at a very low speed, and to avoid its use in situations where it could cause loss of control or unsafe operations, such as during a touch-and-go or when you might need to back the airplane up. The correct combination reflects three parts: reverse thrust is allowed only with idle thrust and at a very low speed on the runway (45 KIAS or below) for deceleration, it is not permitted during touch-and-go maneuvers, and it must not be used to back the aircraft up. This aligns with typical aircraft procedures that keep reverse thrust strictly as a ground-use braking aid after touchdown, while avoiding it during go-arounds or for maneuvering the aircraft on the ground in reverse. The other options either suggest reverse thrust during touch-and-go, or allow backing the aircraft up, or use a higher speed threshold that wouldn’t match the stated restrictions.
