Therefore the only engines that were responding were Nos. 1 and 4. The No.2 throttle was connected to a dead engine!
Amazingly not one of them noticed that a perfectly good engine (No. 3) had been left at flight idle!
As I said a month (16 posts) ago, 'Does the C-5 have auto-rudder when asymmetric? If not shouldn't the lack of footload with oei have given a clue?' (i.e. when using the symmetrical thrust of 1 & 4)
