No, because the CL does not have cutoff switches of that nature. They are on TLs.. see pic
RHS dude looks out of sidewindow back at runway for typical US style visual slamdunk, asks for full flaps at same time retarding levers to idle to get speed change under way asap… also Challengers have crap autothrottles (if installed!!) so really only good as cruise controls as too slow for rapid changes for visual maneuvering
