B757 utility buses
Just wondering why they both go off when apu is running electrics and thrust levers are advanced.IE engines shutdown.Suspect it is load shedding due to a/c logic suspecting double engine failure but can anyboby help an ignorant pilot.

It's probably like the 767 which loadsheds in the air with a single power source. On the 767, Boeing defined "in air" (wrt to loadshedding) as weight off wheels(bogey tilt) or thrust levers advanced (presumably as a backup for the gear tilt).
