You clearly don’t understand what happens in VNAV especially in VNAV PTH. What about the aircraft that have a VNAV mode and no auto throttle?
But from your other replies, yes you’re right, the question is ambiguous. It talks about a ‘system’ and Autothrottle certainly is, so maybe it’s the right answer in the question writers head, who knows, and there’s the problem, who knows?
Now tell someone who didn’t just “Bank it” and got 74% that the exams are fair.
BTW, just because the banks (ATPLQ?) say it’s the right answer, doesn’t mean it is.
