Spoilers didn't work
AutoBrakes didn't work
as is to be expected, giving the spoilers/autobrake diagram. One input FALSE, output FALSE (not in that it is the wrong output, but as in the logical value FALSE).
The FP tried to stop the plane with manual brakes...
strikes me as odd that I have not seen a "manual brakes applied" input in the abovementioned logic diagram.. have I overlooked it?
But an AB's computer system failure is not descarded by investigators, who said that it is possible that the system failed to identify the actual right engine TL position
now that's one thing that has bugged me for a few days now.
Can anyone shed some light on how the T/L readout is done actually? Are there redundant sensors? How many? Different physical principles?
