BA38s engines "Hesitated"
Dear borghha,
Right, no (fully computerized) "Green Approach" to me, but a late descent and a less than idle power setting when the anti-ice systems "on" is OK!
It is also valid, when airborne, what i wrote about run-ups during taxi "out" and "in. You need MORE than idle power, to get hot air enough, to keep the metal/platinium in the front end of a jet engine above freezing point.
So, my guess is, that the BA38 flew at idle power from FL400 to 720 ft, and even if the selected anti-ice "On" it does not work at idle, even if it should according to certifications.
