Scenarios where one throttle is mismanaged
Hello all, I'm an infrequent ga type trying to understand how one throttle could be missed. I may have missed something in the report, but do you guys have any ideas or stories that might help me understand what happened?
I've always imagined that 4 throttles would feel a lot like 2... With one or two fingers per throttle it seems like just retarding three throttles would feel weird. So it's hard for me to imagine the PF pulling four almost to idle and then letting one of them go. And I'm assuming the PF is handling throttles with this model?
Same thing with thrust reversers. Once again I have no experience but I imagine pulling three to the stops feels quite different than four.
Or are there other scenarios that come to mind? If this wasn't a heated pressurized cabin, I could imagine the first officer, wearing a parka, reaching across the pedestal and somehow catching an outside throttle with a sleeve...but that would have been number four instead of number one.
Appreciate any and all thoughts!
