Report
The final report listed 8 probable causes and 84(?) recommendations to operators, ANAC and Airbus.
I didn't read the report entirely, but i'll try to make a brief translation. Have no time now for a complete (and literal) translation.
- It wasn't possible to determine the exact position of the throttles due to the force of impact, but the principal cause was the position of the TLs (one in reverse and one in acceleration).
- The pilots lost situational awarness, they didn't identify the problem in time to avoid the accident.
- It is possible to land with one TL in reverse and the other in acceleration position without any warning to the pilots.
What I could understand, the main cause was pilot error, but aircraft engineering wasn't of much help to quickly warn the pilots what was going on.
I know this was extensively discussed here, but I have a quick question.
How many inches one TL must be above idle to "transmit" to the engine the info to accelerate?
