REFLECTOR: Pilots report cockpit power failures

[Richard J. Gentil]

Mark,

The difference is with Airbus, if the A320 systems detect damage to an engine, the system takes the engine and puts it in idle not to further damage the engine. Boeing does not do this. 

While the engines would develop anything close to full power with a B737 they would have been able to get enough thrust to make it to Teterboro. 

If you listen to the CVR, Sully and Skiles spent most of their time to getting the engines out of idle before landing in the Hudson.
