777 Thrust reverser often not work

When i try to clic CANC button for activate thrust reverser, sometimes work sometimes not. Like a bug. This is very annoying (and scary) when landing.

Thrust reverse on the B777 is dependent on wow (weight on wheels). No wow, no thrust reverse.
Could that be it?

Edit: The reason is a B777 activated thrust reverse prematurely and crashed. Now thrust reverse cannot be activated until the aircraft is firmly on the ground.

LaudaAir 004 was 767, not 777. But You are right about WoW.

Thanks V12. B767 is pretty much the same type. I haven't flown a B767 here, but I have the B777. It will not reverse thrust until the a/c is on the ground.

I would hope Boeing would learn from mistakes and use procedures it learned in the past. But that is IRL.
