Fatigued Superjet test pilot used wrong throttle before crash
Icelandic investigators have concluded that a fatigued Sukhoi Superjet crew advanced the wrong throttle lever during a single-engined go-around test before the aircraft overran the runway. The inquiry into the 21 July 2013 accident at Reykjavik’s Keflavik airport found that, although the crew was well-rested before the original planned duty time, “significant and repeated” delays meant this was not the case at the time of the testing.

Interesting, all the aircraft that I flew with autoland/autothrottle would in the event of an engine failure/shutdown, the auto throttles would disconnect immediately. In addiition, whenever an engine was shutdown, we would always carry the inoperative throttle whether there were two, three or four thrust levers. Can anyone confirm autothrottle engagement with an engine inop.
But would that be true if you were only simulating an engine out?
How would you simulate an engine out without either retarding the throttle or actually shutting it down. Either way the auto throttle logic would disconnect but not the autopilot if engaged, unless G/A is selected. Just asking?
You're right, I didn't think that through. Serves me right for posting when I'm medicated.
No worries, have done that myself.
If one engine had actually failed on approach at 25ft over a runway, is there any reason to execute a go-around? Wouldn't it be safer to just land?
