Re: BA Flight lands short of Runway
Presumably the autothrottle-initiated increase was related to the final flap selection, which obviously requires an increase in thrust. In a high-drag configuration with no extra power on tap (so no chance of a go-around) there's only one direction you're going.
The AAIB saying that the speed reduced while height reduced suggests lack of thrust and presence of lots of drag, of course. It'll be interesting to understand the reasons for the asymmetric engine damage, though.
