Allright everyone, take a look at this:
(taken from the flightglobal website. My bolding)
HOT-1 okay.
18:48:21.0
FWC twenty.
18:48:21.6
FWC retard.
18:48:23.0
FWC retard.
18:48:24.5
CAM [sound of thrust lever movement]
18:48:24.9
CAM [sound of increasing engine noise]
18:48:25.5
GPWS retard
18:48:26.3
CAM [sound similar to touchdown]
18:48:26.7
HOT-2 reverse number one only.
18:48:29.5
HOT-2 spoilers nothing.
18:48:30.8
HOT-1 aaiii. [sigh]
The FWC says RETARD twice, then there is an INCREASE in engine noise??? After which the GPWS says RETARD (obviously)
So how am I supposed to read this? The computers want the thrust levers to be retarded, but instead there is can INCREASE in engine noise!?! The significant thing here is that all this happens when the aircraft is still airborne. Touchdown happens at 18:48:26.3
There is an increase in engine noise 1.5 seconds prior touchdown
Therefore the increase in engine noise can not be attributed to deployment of the operative thrust reverser.
Therefore the increase in engine noise is due to forward thrust, go-around power setting.....
