AAIB: BA jet's engines "failed to respond" The British Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) today (Jun 19, 2008) released its initial findings into the crash landing of British Airways' 777-236(ER) G-YMMM yesterday at London Heathrow (LHR / EGLL). The report reads that "At approximately 600ft and two miles from touch down, the autothrottle demanded an increase in thrust from the two engines, but the engines did not respond. Following further demands for increased thrust from the autothrottle, and subsequently the flight crew moving the throttle levers, the engines similarly failed to respond." The report goes on to note that "A significant amount of fuel leaked from the aircraft, but there was no fire," discounting some early theories that fuel starvation may have played a role in the incident.
