BBC now reporting that "Accident Investigators" are stating that engines failed to respond during landing that they didn`t respond to demand for increased thrust at 2 mile point.
Any 777 drivers care to comment on a standard approach as to when engines should spool up from idle after selecting landing flap and a/c airspeed back at vref. Could it be at the 2 mile point (ie 600ft) or maybe nearer 3 miles? Plenty of time maybe for a mayday call but no disrespect to the crew, other things on mind and hands busy etc etc.
