Good to hear from you, JammedStab.
There is no way the aircraft would have been certified if it went to SPD on touchdown.
It doesn't go to SPD on touchdown; what was seen in the sim was that somewhere below 5' the SPD FMA just went blank and on touchdown the throttles remained wherever they were when it blanked. I have a study guide that states the A/T will go off at 5'.

I'm just trying to figure out if some of the 744s (maybe older versions) actually don't go to IDLE at 25' as Silberfuchs experienced. I have a friend who is going to try it on a 744F in a few hours, conditions permitting, and hopefully he will report back.
