OK, in my humble opinion this was the same, so if BETA is just flat than MT
is reverse (as when I push the throttle it will push the plane backwards
(not that I would do this as our nosewheels are not really built to do this
LOL)

And all actions (BETA,reverse) is ONLY possible under 70kts, above this
speed NOTHING will happen when you turn on both switches. (1 for arming, 2
for reversing).

Ronald, does MT make a difference between "beta" and "reverse"?

Beta in my experience is flat, zero thrust.  Reverse is something else.   In
the TBM, beta provides a large percentage of the braking force that reverse
does without kicking up debris.   Can you determine where beta is on the MT
versus reverse thrust?  Those tests would be useful.  Also, is "beta"
prohibited below 70k or reverse or both?
