you still have to move them from a detent located way way forward back to idle in the last 40 odd feet, not very natural.
Maybe not to a 'B' only pilot... and this is only in ATHR - in MAN THR is just as a B...
The T/O config horn sounding the same as the Cabin alt horn on the 73 is not a great thing but..............IF you hear it at the start of the T/O roll:- you stop........
IF you hear it in flt:-- you check the pressurization........
not too difficult I would think.
Still killed 150+ people...
NOD - or anyone - no-one has yet explained why on the AB some pilots are not closing the throttle/s on landing? Surely this is BASIC flying, and I have only seen it in pre-solo single-piston stuff where I quickly eradicated it. To have it issued as a 'warning' to crew by AB puzzles me.
It puzzles me too... but seems to have the 1 Rev Inop as a common theme - so a strange HF thing probably not thought through / anticipated...
