I guess I just like to select something and get it rather than see if it is offered. by bubbers
Bubbers, I realize you're not on the Airbus, it's not as confusing as your making it out to be, the thrust lever scenario isn't caused by the thrust lever being accidentally positioned slightly forward, were speculating about the possibility of the crew not moving it back from the position it is in during climb and cruise. Left in this position (CLB detent), when the aircraft touches down, you would have idle on engine 1, about 55% N1 on engine 2, next thing that happens is while the pilot is selecting REV on engine 1, A/TH is disconnected automatically at touchdown and engine 2 accelerates to CLB power (90%N1), to further complicate the situation, the fact that the R/H thrust lever is not at the idle position, this inhibits spoilers from deploying, as you can see, a lot happening at once.
