Thrust Reverse Feature Control

Abstract: A method for controlling a gas turbine engine includes receiving, with a controller, a thrust reverse command to activate a thrust reverse feature of the gas turbine engine. The method also includes determining the thrust reverse feature is in a starting position, confirming a gas turbine engine condition is at a first value, and moving the thrust reverse feature to a middle position. The method also includes confirming the gas turbine engine condition is at a second value in coordination with moving the thrust reverse feature to the middle position. Additionally, after moving the thrust reverse feature to the middle position and confirming the gas turbine engine condition is that a second value in coordination with such movement, the method includes moving the thrust reverse feature to a maximum position.
