Not according to the linked article. Here the autothrottle set the power to idle and then left for lunch without the crew noticing. In the AMS incident the autothrottle was still active and thought the plane was over the runway, and in fact turned down the throttle again after the crew manually set it higher.Spotterke wrote:Look like the turkish flight experienced the very same thing,a couple of weeks ago in AMS.Very similar incident.
