Correct me again if I am wrong please.....Engine failure drill (or possibly thought engine failure)
The drill is.....after Fuel Control Switch to cut off action (possibly not done) comes....open fuel cross feed...start APU..
Question ...Any evidence on the tapes a crew member did this?
Presently it seems people think a fuel cross feed was open and the APU was in the first stages of starting.
If the engines were giving power above flight idle to impact...why did the APU
start without human assistance.
If it did begin to start automaticly it seems it started with the landing gear
collapsed and one engine fuel cock open.
It also appears the increasing pitch attitude to near stall AOA if that occured was not helpfull to fuel feed problems.
Could a B777 pilot (Hand SOLO maybe) explain the logic of how this all could have occured.
