Thanks for the explanation.

A question.

How many pilots would normally be relying on the RETARD function to close the throttles on this type of approach? In other words, in 99.9% of approaches of the type flown by the accident crew, wouldn't the throttles already be closed by the time the RETARD function initiates? Just not at 2000' as in this case, but over the runway threshold?
