A question on reversers

wrote in message

John, I'm sure the Thailand Air Lauda A320 crash of about 10 years ago
has escaped your attention

The pilots somehow accidentally deployed the reversers on finals and
couldn't recover the craft

The Lauda aircraft was a B767, and the accident occurred as a result of a
system failure some 20 minutes or so after T.O., not during a landing
approach. In normal operation, inflight reverse should be prevented in the
767.

In my post I was speaking in general terms, that as a matter of design,
operation of reversers in flight is usually prevented. However, there are
some exceptions, and in the event of a system failure or malfunction, all
sorts of unanticipated things can occur.
