#2 looks NTS'd to me. So not convinced of how much power it was putting out. But I do agree, a small output would explain why no auto feather. Seem to remember that the auto-feather is activated at 45% RPM.
The state of #1 engine/propeller has only a number of possibilities
a) #1 engine failed and did not auto feather
b) #1 engine was shut down incorrectly and did not feather
a) it didn't NTS either, why?
b)only 2 ways to shut it down, 'stop' button which would have lead to it NTS'ing or feather/shut off with the condition lever. ie, it would have feathered.
Whats more, it from the lack for blade damage, it looks like it was not rotating. Any ideas on how u stop a none feathered prop in flight?
After nearly a week, I still have heard no good explainations for this prang. I am afraid its a 30 day wait till the prelim report is out. Glad the UK CAA AAIB are gonna reconstruct the CVR/FDR.
I hope the crew get their 5c worth too. Glad to see that looks like everybody will pull through.
