If you lose one engine, I don’t think you can safely assume that the other engine (or engines) will keep running long enough to reach safety. But that's the whole point of ETOPS certification: the whole airplane, including the powerplant, is held to a much higher maintenance and operational standar...

Jump to postI wasn't aware that Airbus' autothrottles did not move the physical throttle levers. That is a serious ergonomic failure, along with the two joysticks not physically reciprocating each other's movements (see AF447).
