In the end, a single hand cannot accidentally shut down both engines.
And, that is not a really old HS748... that is a modern version of the HS748...
while they got the levers right at the throttle quadrant, much else was not so brilliant. The dump valve... fire warning lights from the dark side... a fire bell that the striker was exposed to all and sundry... black over black "attitude instruments"
