Discussion re. the Airbus thrust control system reminded me of this thread:

http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthr...Airbus+landing

The thread starter asks:
What happens if I do not set THRUST idle in
AUTO LANDing even after touchdown ????
What baffled me (and it was BEFORE the TAM crash), was that there were several different answers to the original question... That shows that the AB non-moving TL design, if not flawed, is at least prone to confusion and not fool-proof enough. To much of "what is it doing now's"...

Just my 2p. worth
