January 13, 201313 yr Yesterday I flew the RNAV-Y Rwy 1 approach at KJAC. Like every flight before this, I disengaged autopilot/autothrottle at 2000 ft AGL to hand fly in. The number 1 engine became stuck at about 65% N1. Whenever I moved the throttle controller, only the number 2 engine responded. I never ran into this before. I wound up shutting the #1 down, and doing a go around. Has anyone ever run into this before? Mike Murphy
January 13, 201313 yr Did the throttle lever in the cockpit move? If it didn't, you might have inadvertently pushed E+2, which will make your throttle axis command the number 2 engine, but not the number 1 engine. Name available upon request
January 13, 201313 yr Author That's exactly what I did! The throttle lever didn't move. I tested this on the ground by hitting E+2, and only the #2 throttle moved. Hitting E by itself restored controls to normal. Thanks for your help! Mike Murphy
January 13, 201313 yr No problem at all! You can use this function to your advantage as well, while making tight turns for example. Name available upon request
