However, the autothrottle was only "armed" or ready for activation, she said.

The pilot told investigators he realized the autothrottle was not engaged seconds before they hit.

This caused the autothrottle to decrease the engine power to idle during approach.

The autothrottle, which determines the airplane's speed, is controlled by a separate system.

(In Boeing it feeds data to the autothrottle every time.

This caused the "autothrottle" to pull back the power to idle, as if the plane was touching down.

The report also cited the crew's use of autothrottle during landing despite gusty wind conditions.

Lee Jeong-min recognizes the autothrottle isn't maintaining the proper speed.

A radar altimeter feeds data to the autothrottle mostly in this mode.

Leave the autopilot & autothrottle switched off for takeoff.

Inspectors found that the autothrottle had been 'armed,' or made ready for activation, Hersman said.

Pilots would then normally check their airspeed before switching off the autothrottle to continue a "hand fly" approach.

Hersman didn't say whether the Asiana's autothrottle was engaged.

Only moments before the crash did the training captain realize the autothrottle wasn't controlling the plane's speed, Hersman said.

She stressed that even if the autothrottle malfunctioned, the pilots were ultimately responsible for control of the airliner.

Lee Jung Min recognises the autothrottle is not maintaining the proper speed.
