B) is absolutely shameful, that the pilots have no manual control over the GS whatsoever. Just amazing. On a Boeing plane all you had to do was pull the SB all the way back
Works both ways.... if the B757 had auto retraction on the spoilers a la Airbus, then Cali might not have happened
Edit: "shameful" is a strong phrase
The designers and certification authorities have had years to devise the design, refine it, refuse it etc. Please try and justify why a designer should allow GS to be obtained without TLs at idle (or failed etc.) ?? It is not, IMHO "predictable" that pilots will not select idle at touchdown... we have all learnt of a systemmatic HF issue. It has been addressed, maybe enough (?) but seemingly too late / inadequately publicised for CGH....
