Actually, ATHR performed as designed, retarding the throttles on ground. How did it "know" it was on ground? In computer logic; if RA is zero, then one has to be. It was not outright failure of radalt, it kept emitting realistic value, which had no semblance to actual, it's what we call "unreliable".
You can not teach today's computers to deal with unreliables. It takes intelligence to tackle them and success is not guaranteed.

Except in rare cases where those feeling their nether regions falling out are actually victims of somatogravic illusion.

I'm still amused by PPRuNers seriously suggesting that personal g feel is something that can be used to fly transport aeroplane successfully.

Discrepancy between Hollywood movies and real world is part of the answer.

Flight Data Monitoring (FDM), Operational Flight Data Monitoring (OFDM),
You have answered your own question, lest you just know the names for it and are unaware what it means.

He had read and understood them manuals.

Parbleu! Scandaleuse! We should self-righteously and indignantly reject the report on shoddily maintained and lousily test flown 320 because there is no G trace in published FDR readouts.
