Do I see this wrong or does it look like engine #1 is at -a lot- more than idle thrust during that landing roll?
If so possible causes? Selecting reverse on both engines with the reverser not deploying on #1? Other tech failures that prevented the engine from going to idle?
Or maybe I saw wrong…
Not likely - an earlier post said this had PW2000 engines - FADEC. While nothing is impossible, it would be very unusual for a FADEC engine to not go to idle if the thrust lever is at idle.
Pilots have been known to inadvertently nudge the thrust lever of one engine above idle while deploying the thrust reversers on the other engines - however I've only ever known that to happen on quads (small hands miss one reverse lever) - hard to imagine that happening on a twin though.
