Report: 777 Engines        Were Running At Impact       

       

 Despite earlier reports that suggested both engines        had quit on the Boeing 777 that crashed on final approach to Heathrow last        week, the engines were still developing power at impact, the United        Kingdom's Air Accident Investigation Board said on Thursday. The AAIB also        said there was adequate fuel on board. The aircraft was on autopilot and        stabilized on an ILS approach when the autothrust system commanded an        increase in thrust from both engines. "The engines both initially        responded but after about 3 seconds the thrust of the right engine        reduced," according to the AAIB. "Some eight seconds later the thrust        reduced on the left engine to a similar level. The engines did not shut        down and both engines continued to produce thrust at an engine speed above        flight idle, but less than the commanded thrust." Investigators now are        working to complete a detailed analysis and examination of the complete        fuel-flow path from the aircraft tanks to the engine fuel nozzles.       

       

       

The AAIB said it is "sensitive to the needs of the industry," including        aircraft manufacturers that use similar onboard systems and the flight        crews who fly them, and will issue more information as soon as        possible.
