Why all the hubub about a -200 reverser that won't stow? Not really a big deal. Just spool the reverser up to about 50% N1, then slam the reverser down to stow. The extra bleed air in the system from being spooled up will stow the reverser 99.9% of the time. As for the QRH, the Bombardier QRH isn't meant to be used on the ground unless the checklist is specifically annotated as being "ON GROUND," such as "ENG FIRE/SEVERE DAMAGE - ON GROUND." Otherwise, the QRH is useless. The QRH is meant to be used in the air, and tons of QRH checklists are either worthless or will lead you down the wrong path on the ground.
