Pira:
From flyingnewbie10's earlier post:
"Airbus has developed a specific warning when one throttle is set to reverse
while the other is above idle. This warning generates an ECAM warning "ENG
x THR LEVER ABV IDLE", a continuous repetitive chime (CRC), and lights the
red master warning light. This new warning is implemented in the FWC
standard "H2F3".
A Service bulletin will be issued very soon on this subject. "
So the crew did not resond to this fairly major clue that something was amiss? Or was this not installed on the accident A/C?
As a Boeing pilot I was surprised to discover that Airbus do not disengage A/T at touch down during a normal landing.
The pilots simply have to move the throttles to idle to achieve this, as the aircraft prompts them to do. Is this not unreasonable? Or is it actually desirable, in case a GA is decided upon?
In any case, if this particular speculation was to be true, there must be some logic improvements to be made, i.e. one side full reverse, the other side TO power. But as with everything else, it remains speculation for now.
