the aircraft suffering a heavy landing with no-one in control of the thrust levers.
I'd venture to suggest that the latency/lag-time, call it what you will, exceeded the time from lost grip to landing.
A total red-herring, it didn't and probably wouldn't have made a jot of difference.A minor hiccup and he was being overly cautious in reporting the heavy landing.....sheesh,you see a lot hairier stuff on yootoob
