Sounds like these rollback's must have produced some "fun" takoffs. I fly with four fires on the wings, so any ETOPS crews out there; How does this fit into the stringent certification guidelines? I would assume that most GE-90s are being used on some seriously long ETOPS since they are on an aircraft with some pretty long legs.
I especially like this part of the AD...
"A dual-engine thrust rollback, if not corrected, could result in the airplane failing to lift off before reaching the end of the runway or failing to clear obstacles below the takeoff flight path."
Really?? I guess they should also state that if you have a dual-engine thrust rollback you might need to land at the nearest airport because you might not be able to glide to your destination (depending on height of course).
Gotta love those geniuses at the FAA...
