ERJ-190 Pilot reported the engines would not shut down after gate arrival. Both FADECs had failed and allowed the engine to go into reverse during check list procedures for abnormal shut down.
What is ASRS?
The Aviation Safety Reporting System is NASA's voluntary, confidential, non- punitive incident-reporting system, established 1976. Pilots, controllers, dispatchers, and maintenance technicians file reports describing safety- relevant events. NASA de-identifies every report before adding it to the public database. Reports are not investigated by NASA, the FAA, or the NTSB — they represent the reporter's perspective.
Pilot narrative
Verbatim from the de-identified NASA record. First-person account by the
reporter. NASA strips identifying details (names, company, specific time);
anonymization placeholders are ZZZ,
X, Y.
Upon attempting shutdown after normal landing and taxi to the gate in ZZZ, both engines would not shut down. In an attempt to verify the engines were at idle as the Full Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC) will not allow shutdown outside of idle, both engines spooled up in reverse and blew dust and debris on the personnel. There was no reverse indication noted on the EICAS. I called Maintenance Control/Dispatch and they were not able to determine any abnormalities in the aircraft or flight data nor if the reversers deployed before shutdown.

ASRS reports are voluntarily submitted, de-identified by NASA, and represent the reporter's perspective. The presence of reports on a topic cannot be used to infer prevalence in the National Airspace System. The authoritative source is the NASA ASRS Database Online at asrs.arc.nasa.gov ↗.
