Unfortunately RAT 5, the days of knowing pitch and power are going, more and more of us are working for airlines where manual flight is not encouraged and taking out the autothrust is not allowed with the result that our flying skills are diminishing. Those that work for more enlightened companies or fly older varients like the 757, I am envious.
I digress.
Whether or not the recent accident was a result of hitting TOGA but not getting the thrust, or not, we will find out in due course. Either way it is something I will be more aware of now.
