Ouch! I thought this forum was here to discuss items like that??
I'm by no means and experienced 737 driver - but I am asking a minor question that I can't find the answer to from my flying or tech manuals!
All I want to know is - Can you fly a manual descent, with manual thrust, with no FD, with the A/T armed and the other FD showing pitch to maintain the MCP speed (ie Lvl Chg) or Alt Hold.
From what I have looked through, the answer would appear to be no - you have to have the A/T off, to prevent thrust levers advancing at "Alt Acquire" from a "Lvl. Chg" descent.
Come on - shoot me down in flames!
