tdracer, re AT clutch / cable description #792.
Is it possible, depending on design, for both thrust levers to move together - AT clutch control in flight deck area, but with cable friction etc, for one engine to lag or freeze resulting in asymmetric thrust.
Joe999, look at the engine instruments to get a better indication of what is happening rather than the input thrust levers. e.g. check the room light is on, not assume that it should be based on the switch position.
Same for aircraft with auto-pilot; look at what the aircraft is actually doing - instruments, opposed to what it should do according to a mode annunciator. cf lomapaseo #795
joilhokistix, #796, leading to an interesting point on differences training.
Normally same/common type training progresses from the older variant to the newer one with differences training. However, with some regulatory interpretations it is possible to be rated on the latest variant and with ill-determined backwards differences training, also fly older aircraft.
What is the industry experience of this.
