Do we know it was a dual channel autoland?
I previously aid that the Autothrottle will command idle thrust below 28ft RA during a dual channel autoland (with the LHS as PF in our SOPs), but has that ben established from the press conference?
easylife, (from Boeing Vol 2 737NG), quote..
Autothrottle Modes
• RETARD – displayed while autothrottle moves thrust levers to the aft
stop. RETARD mode is followed by ARM mode
With the Autothrottle system disengaged, the thrust levers will only move when physically moved by the flight crew.
