From the reports I've heard so far, honestly it sounds like the only thing that could've happened - it's been said so far that they lost not engine power, but response from the autothrottle, and it wouldn't budge when they tried manual input. Which entirely makes sense I guess - I presume they were just gliding down at low power until that point and everything looked right. Sounds like it simply got stuck at some point between the plane starting the final approach and the time the crew noticed the lack of response.
What are the chances of it failing though? Sounds like something really went wrong, assuming there should be enough redundancy in the system.
Has there been any incidents on other types of planes with similar FADEC systems? Or would this technically be the first one? :hmm:
