Lack of info being discussed on the last few pages in the thread so I thought I would bring you back up-to-date on the latest released info in the UK. To remind you of whats known so far.
*Plane was coming in on auto
*Power was lost in both engines
*Autopilot sent several requests for more engine power to the engines, no response.
*Cockpit warning for engine power shortfall to autopilot failed to sound.
*Pilots took manual control and set maximum throttle, again there was no response from the engines.
*Debris analysis showed that one engine had been working when hitting the ground and one hadnt due to the fact one engine only scooped up dirt while the other sucked it in.
*Both the APU and Ramjet had been deployed
