Both engines were hit by at least 1 and possibly several LARGE birds. Damage was such that several IGV's and OGV's were euther damaged or even missing. And yet the would be "engineers" here on PPRUNE seem to think that a big red switch to allow the pilot to over-ride the FADEC would have saved the day (or at least allowed at dry landing)
Well listen up! The engines were knackered, shot. Damaged/missing IGV's/OGV's would have disturbed the airflow through the engine so much that any pilot over-ride would have had, if anything, the opposite effect and caused a massive surge.
The vast majority of a/c flying around today are FADEC controlled. FADEC does not limit EGT (it's quite possible to overtemp a FADEC engine as the frequent overtemp inspections that are carried out by engineers all over world are testimony to. FADEC will HELP prevent over-boost and overspeed of engines but by all accounts this was not the issue it was not producing enough power not limited 'cos it was producing too much.
Hats off to the pilots who did an excellent job of getting the a/c down without loss of life and WAIT for the report to establish the full story.
