md-100: the supposition is that secodary debris (cowling bits?) damaged the data bus feeding the #1 engine EEC. #1 reportedly responded to control inputs in air, so the problem may have been to do with its EEC's confusion as to whether it was on the ground or not. Or the data bus may have been frayed in the incident and the impact of landing finally separated it. We'll see.
VFD: 513: Good explanation. I'm not sure whether it would apply to Airbuses.
jeflew: BA [used to] routinely download engine and other flight data to their maintenance centre, from whence it might have been forwarded to RR. Don't know whether QF does that.
