BA38s engines "Hesitated"
Dear davecr,
According to the AAIB report, page 2, from feb. 2008 (latest): "The Engines initially responded but, at a hight of about 72o ft, the thrust of the right engine reduced. Some seven seconds later, the trust reduced on the left engine to the same level"
That is "Hesitation" in my book.
The different Jet Engine Producers, Airbus & Boeing and The Airlines has over the last 50 years been "Out of Synch" about recommendations and actual Anti-ice and De-ice Procedures.
And not until 1994, it was never admitted that, at idle power, the anti-ice systems does not work.
