not familiar with that jet
Nor, it would seem, is the ATSB, nor did it attempt to find out (or at least explain in the report) WTF the ATS
was (not) doing with the speed. Where's the throttle position chart? What was the purpose of disengaging the ATS (apart from "that's what Boeing said to do"? Would that have actually achieved anything given the PF increased thrust anyway? Did the ATS try to pull the power back? Is pussy-footing around with the thrust when in the shaker really a big issue in the 747?
So many questions, so few answers...
