Good Grief
I spent nearly my entire career working jet turbine engines. While the technically correct term is "Thrust Lever", even I use the terms "Thrust Lever", "Throttle Lever", and "Throttle" pretty much interchangeably when talking the subject (I'm rather more careful when writing). Even Boeing people call the automatic thrust control feature "Auto-Throttle" even though those levers it moves are correctly referred to as "Thrust Levers" (and the group that was responsible for the function was always called the "Auto-Throttle Group"). Seriously, is there anyone on this forum who doesn't know what we're talking about when some writes "Throttles" or "Throttle Levers"? Sheese.
Can we possible quit the semantics discussions and get back to the topic of what may have caused this aircraft to crash?
