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
The touchdown you hear in the cockpit on a A320 landing is the nose wheel, not the mains.
What you see there is the application of reverse thrust as per FCOM 3, at main wheel touch down, before nose wheel, the increase in noise is the reverse.
"Retard" comes from the FWC, not GPWS, I suspect something is wrong with the transcript translation with the "18:48:25.5 GPWS retard".

Jim,
Nice work on the plagiarism, that is word for word from page 167 of the Taiwanese report that you posted a link to earlier ... did you consider citing the reference you copied and pasted from ? Any other posts from you that contain material from others that we should know about ?
