Heathrow = Thrust Reversers deployed

It does. But both the relevant RR and GE engines use FADEC which requires software.
Neither engine has a mechanical throttle. It's controlled ENTIRELY by electronics.

Is the FADEC part of the engine or a separate box in the cockpit or elsewhere
(like an autopilot)?

Boeing never should have made the Airbus mistake.

At least part of the FADEC system is installed right next to the engine itself. It's a
*system* not just one box.

FADEC happened long ago. It's nothing to do with Airbus. Do you think mechanical linkages
are any more reliable ?

I was thinking about the general move to fly-by-wire in recent Boeing
aircraft.

Do you think mechanical linkages are any more reliable?

Absolutely. How often have mechanical throttle linkages for all engines
broken simultaneously in non-fly-by-wire airliners?

Nope.

Fjukkwit planespotter. At least you've flund a little friend at your same

Why, you don't fly anyway...

Why just Boeing ?

They're not.

Oh this should be good.

Very good.

Please remark that the so called "FADEC" is part of the engine and is mounted on the engine normally. It does not belong to the
aircraft manufacturer. There are other computers in the aircraft side to calculate the inputs to the FADEC. These computers
calculate the thrust demand and are giving this to the engine's FADEC.

Hope this helps.
