Just wondering what would happen to the throttles on a 747-400 if they were (substantially) staggered when the TOGA switch was pushed on takeoff. Would the A/T servo only drive the throttles forward until the first engine had reached it's target?
Someone once told me that the servo stops driving when the second one reaches its target thrust, but if the stagger was substantial, wouldn't the first engine be overdriven? (Perhaps to the point where the EEC would have to intervene to stop the engine damaging itself).
Perhaps someone with some sim time coming up could help here?
Thanks.

Q.
P.S... and would the same thing thing happen in the air if, say the A/T was engaged with the throttles staggered?
