seeing the prelim report above cut n paste
i assume the thrust levers should have been put into full from idle at around 08.37.20 to 23secs and not 08.37.35 secs

flaps 20 and then followed by gear up were initiated some 12 secs before TO/GA engine thrust was spooling up

surely to get yourself out of trouble you want some power PDQ?

I am sure this will point to the interface of reliance on AT and wheels on the ground sensors whereby AT is inhibited for some seconds unless you shove the throttles yourself in a TOGA situation - which is flawed automation in my limited brain - it leaves open as it did in other accidents the crew thinking everything will be done for them and the plane will not crash
