REVERSER LIMITED lights that illuminate when on the ground indicate?

• A. A fault has occurred in the thrust reverser system
• B. The reverser is deployed
• C. The engine is not running
• D. The hydraulic system has failed

Answer: (A)

REVERSER LIMITED on the ground signals a fault in the thrust reverser system. When the system detects an abnormal condition—such as a sensor or actuator issue, misaligned doors, or insufficient hydraulic pressure—it switches to a safe mode and limits reverse functionality, and a warning light is illuminated to alert the crew. This is a maintenance-required condition, because full reverser operation cannot be relied on after touchdown. It’s not simply that the reverser is deployed or that the engine isn’t running; those are different states and would show different indications. The message here is that the reverser system has a fault and must be checked before the next flight.
