Capi_Cafre' . . . [TAM at CGH]

The crew's incomplete understanding of the ground logic directly contributed to this accident.
Oh, please, Capi_Cafre'. It is elementary, universal, instinctive reaction in any aircraft anywhere, learned from day 1 in flight school. . . that upon touchdown, the flying pilot must retard/close/pull-back the thrust lever(s) in order to stop! Nothing to do with ground logic/automation to keep the flying pilot from having his paw on all thrust levers and pulling back. Even during CAT-3B fully coupled A/T approach and landing, the flying pilot will be guarding the thrust levers. This idiotic accident was caused by a mix of complacency and temporary insanity.
