What is a typical fuel flow at flight idle in landing configuration with engine anti-ice selected on ?
Is it correct to guess around 2600 pounds per hour per engine ?

According to the last report, FF maintained for the last 40 sec was twice that amount for each engine, which must not be far from a typical FF in order to maintain the G/S and cross the threshold at 50ft ?
I know someone said earlier the approach was quite bumpy with thrust variations, but in the same time, at this stage, BA38 was pretty light.

I would consider an airplane touches down in such a low energy situation 1000ft before threshold in case of dual engines flame out ... but I find it too much when each FF was between 5 and 6000 pounds per hour ?

Just a thought ...
