USAir 1549 CVR transcript

I kissed Sully's picture this morning... I felt so much better! Thrust lever- TOGA = power.
Air France couldn't figure it out either one day at a little air show in Paris. It's those simple things in life that kinda bite ya. Anyone see Sully's broom???

Obviously no concept what the affect of damaged blades can have on a jet engine.

We shook hands, agreed by a process and your side sucker punched us.

Integrity, doing the right thing, even if it is not convenient.

I don't work for USAir so I'm not sure what yiu mean by "your side." I just stated a fact.

Exactly!! an uncontained rotor burst just 1/2 mile from the runway would have resulted in a much different outcome.
Also interesting to note is that these MODERN power plants are FADEC controlled and protected. I suspect that even if the thrust levers had been taken to TOGA (against QRH procedure) FADEC would have commanded minimal, if any, additional fuel metering. This is required and part of engine certification, in order to avoid, well...An uncontained rotor burst....

How about opening the APU bleed (part of the QRH procedure) so that the engine could spin fast enough for the FADEC to allow additional fuel => thrust?

If I recall, both motors were still producing thrust #1 @35% and #2 @21%. The flame was still lit. That's why the rat never deployed and full hydraulics were available.
