Sorry if this has been asked before, but could someone explain how the throttle logic works on the 777? (Never flown a Boeing)
From the NTSB press conference:
They had set speed at 137 knots and he assumed that the auto-throttles were maintaining speed.
Leaving out the discussion about "assuming" anything on an aircraft, how does the whole A/T, throttle position, autopilot system interact here?
I think someone has asked about similarities with the Turkish crash at Schiphol a few years back but I couldn't find an answer - I assume that the similarities are almost non-existant?
