Or reaching the low speed protection with THR IDLE/OP DES modes active. In short wording, you turn off the FDs in the FBW Airbus to get the autothrust in speed mode, whether coming from THR CLB/OP CLB or THR IDLE/OP DES modes.
I have my concerns too, regarding mental bandwidth for ordering/understanding FDs off command. However, one could try to diagnose the situation, start corrective actions and then ordering FDs off during the manoeuvre? That way you’re not wasting time to correct flight path and then taking off the nuisance of the FDs. But it is a handful...
