Hi Pacman,

The other day, it was "only" -18c, I though I tried the T/R...

Oups the right reverser did not want to stow...And i going to the deice center... Finally after 90sec and a little bit of nudging, it went back in.

I imagine if we check the T/r every morning, our "on time" perfomance would suffer a lot...
