When is it appropriate to move thrust levers into the forward range if the REV icon is not Amber or Green?

• A. Move forward anyway
• B. Do not move forward
• C. Only after it turns blue
• D. Delay for 60 seconds

Answer: (B)

The thing being tested is how to handle thrust lever movement with the reverser system status shown by the REV indicator. You should only move thrust levers into the forward range when the reverser status is indicated as Amber or Green, meaning the system is ready and safe for normal forward thrust. If the REV icon is not Amber or Green, the reversers are not in a proper, ready state, and advancing the throttles could lead to an unsafe or unpredictable engine/reverser behavior. So the correct action is to not move forward until the REV indicator shows Amber or Green.
