bomarc;
I know what you mean in terms of sound...one becomes accustomed to the motor that drives the lever back. (On the DC8, (40-series), it was actually the nosewheel oleo compression that mechanically drove the lever back - later series didn't wait until the nose was down).
No, under the familiar philosophy that only faults are annunciated, there is no sound, no movement. The indications as well as the SOPs assume that all is working as designed unless there is a fault. That is when annunications would occur and crew action, where indicated/memorized, would occur.
"No spoilers, no reverse" if the thrust levers are not at idle is not a fault in this case, it is a well-proven design. I would be surprised if any aircraft permitted such.
In Canada, we are accustomed to year-round occurrences of contaminated runways so there is a high-degree of awareness and knowledge of those things that will protect one in as many circumstances as possible when the numbers approach marginal conditions.
We have lobbied and otherwise pressed for Toronto's overrun area on the 24's since the first overrun in 1978 and even now, two years after AF358, there is no change.
