is the 5th report, and still the reason od that reduced fuel flow is unclear.

interesting report anyway but:
1) I was surprised to read that such approach was conducted in Autopilot. It would seams that they had other problems to handle if they decided to perform an auto land.
2) I was surprise by the action (desperate i believe) of the commander reducing the flap setting and continuing to keep the plane in autopilot,
3) I was surprise that the crew failed to anticipate the stick shaker situation (they do not have an Alpha floor protection)
4) I was surprise that the A/P was disconnected only by the F/O that apparently pushed the column into the Eicas (as supposed to do)

since the only possible obstruction was up stream of the HP pump It looks like the B777 needs like a Cessna a hot hair (to the carburator) swith, or some Aspirine in the tanks to reduce the piping cholesterol of this giant plane.
