So let me see if Ive got this, {1} The Rad Alt is MEL, crew are aware of this. {2} Power comes back on apch as crew are doing an auto throttle Apch even though the MEL is quite clear on restrictions. {3} Crew {three of them} sit with their minds in neautral as airspeed falls , fail to disconect auto thrust and push those two big levers forward. {4} Aircraft mushes into the ground with a last second intervention by one of the pilots, sadly they paid with their lives but dear God where are the basic/fundemental flying skills? Way back when a four engine piston aircraft was thundering down 28 in Dorval, the FE noting all the hash in his Chinese Television, {Ignition scope to those post pistons} reached up to reduce the MP, Captain responds with, "Dont touch those, they make it go!" It really is that simple folks, automation cant think, thats the pilots job.
