Guess I should tell this to someone who is really interested!
It seems nobody except me thinks this is a big deal and potential silent killer... and nobody has actually had the L1011 Auto throttle drive motor fail on them.
It sure caused me to wake up and react when I saw the pitch indication steadily increasing locked spot on the glide path two miles out on an actual Cat 3 for real auto land.
The value of pre exposure in the BA simulator via Captain Ray Piercy to this failure was proven at 6.00am that foggy morning.
