What is noted about the thrust reversers in the Standby hydraulic system?

• A. Number 1 and 2 Thrust Reversers are described as very weak.
• B. Number 1 Thrust Reverser only.
• C. Standby Thrust Reverser.
• D. No thrust reversers.

Answer: (A)

Standby hydraulic power is a backup source with limited capacity, just enough to keep essential systems alive but not to drive high-demand actuators like thrust reversers at full strength. In this system, the note is that both thrust reversers (the ones on engine 1 and engine 2) are described as very weak when powered by the standby hydraulics. This reflects the intentional limitation of the standby supply and explains why the statement about both reversers being very weak is the best answer. The other possibilities don’t fit because the standby system doesn’t describe a single reverser, a separate standalone standby reverser, or no reversers at all—the documentation indicates reduced capability for both thrust reversers under standby power.
