BOAC -
QRH for the 757 says in the landing gear section, WOW failure in air mode will cause-
1.No rev thrust on 1 or 2 engines.
2.Auto speedbrake inop
3.Autobrake inop.
However, we have no evidence of items 2 or 3 as yet.
** Just for reference, the above items came from a 757 QRH with a different engine fit than the AA aircraft**
The
NTSB prelim report seems to indicate that there was a reasonable payload on board.
