American Airlines 909, KMIA to SAEZ
Let me tell you about this one. The approach was great with ASCOT into ILS 11. I shouldn't had landed there at all. Visibility was very poor but i'll still take her in on a Duel ILS. Flared and touch right between the thresholds, fine. Spoilers retract as normal. Shifting down the throttles into reverse had no response. Now here comes the PANIC. Speeding still down the RWY with no idea whats going on. so I took a glance on the ASI and LO and Behold the speed was still steady at 165knts.(Approach Speed) MY AUTOTHROTTLE WAS STILL ENGAGE. Did not even think about abort by engaging my RTO, with my luck the configured temps was probaly fifty degrees. I'm cool though, I bailed out overhead literally kicking my second officer for first dibs out the hatch. I'm sorry but I had to make that connecting flight to SUMU. Crashed and burn into tress American 909.
vNTSB: Pilot did not disengage autothrottle before MINNS. PIC did not have is normal coffee on approach. So that indicates PIC did not go through his approuch checklist.
Pilots Error.
