What are the rules for the commanded speed with or without autothrust on an Airbus?
On a Boeing, if the autothrottle is used for the landing, there is no need for wind corrections on top of the standard 5kts (all Boeings
afaik). If autothrottle is/will be switched off for landing, command speed is increased with a wind correction up to 20kts. Main wind corrections can be bled off over the runway, but gust corrections on the speed should be kept in. With the autothrottle, the system reacts aggressive if speed would drop below command speed, especially if you hit Vref, which is why the standard 5kts is sufficient.
