DOC AIRBUS | AMM A320FCOWL - THRUST REVERSER OPENING MECHANISM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
1. General
The thrust reverser assembly encloses the engine core and gives the aerodynamic flow duct for the fan airflow.
The two halves make the duct around the engine and are mechanically latched together at 6 o'clock.
Each half thrust reverser cowl rotates at the 12 o'clock hinges to give access to the engine core area during maintenance and servicing operations.

2. System Description
The thrust reverser Cowl Opening System (COS) is operated by a hydraulic actuation system.
The power is provided by ground equipment, manually or electrically.
Each thrust reverser cowl is secured in open position by a mechanical Hold Open Rod (HOR) stored on each forward frame of each thrust reverser cowl.
The thrust reverser cowl opening system consists of the following main systems:
