40 feet before the flare? that is not what I said. I said at 40 feet.
autothrust is still engaged until you hit Idle.
of course, you knew that?
Again, the manual tells you that the thrust levers should be closed quickly. Otherwise you're risking the engines spooling up and increasing your landing roll. You're overcomplicating such a simple technique.
