FLT CREW OF F100 DECLARE EMER WHEN ENG FAILS ON FINAL APCH DUE TO INADVERTENT MOVEMENT OF ENG START LEVER TO CUT OFF.

Narrative

WE RECEIVED A RWY CHANGE WITH A VECTOR UPON CONTACTING FINAL APCH CTL. THE CO-PLT WAS FLYING. THE APCH WAS BRIEFED AND THE FMS REPROGRAMMED. WE WERE VFR WITH THE FIELD IN SIGHT AT THE FAF. THE CO-PLT CALLED FOR THE GEAR. I SWITCHED TO TWR AND RECEIVED CLRNC TO LAND WITH TFC ON SHORT FINAL. THE CO-PLT CALLED FOR FLAPS 42 DEGS. AT 1200 FT AGL; THE CO-PLT CALLED OUT WE LOST #2 ENG. I CONFIRMED. I DIRECTED THE CO-PLT TO CONTINUE AFTER CHKING OUR AIRSPD AND FLT PROFILE. I DECLARED AN EMER WITH THE TWR AND REQUESTED CFR FOR BACKUP. AT THAT POINT; THE CO-PLT ASKED IF WE WANTED TO LEAVE THE FLAPS AT 25 DEGS. INCREDULOUSLY; I SAW THE FLAP HANDLE POS AT 25 DEGS AND THE #2 FUEL LEVER SHUT OFF. IT SEEMED OBVIOUS THAT I HAD PULLED THE WRONG LEVER. WE COMPLETED THE MECHANICAL CHKLIST. THE CO-PLT MADE AN UNEVENTFUL SINGLE ENG LNDG. THE EMER WAS TERMINATED AFTER EXITING THE RWY. LESSON LEARNED: I WOULD HAVE SWORN THAT I MOVED THE FLAP HANDLE INSTEAD OF THE FUEL LEVER. IT IS MY HABIT TO LOOK AT THE FLAP LEVER AND THE DETENTS AT LEAST TO 25 DEG FLAPS BECAUSE THE THROTTLES OBSTRUCT THEIR VIEW. I SPECIFICALLY REMEMBER DOING THAT ON THIS APCH.
