A320 - landing with manual thrust?
Hey folks,
our company (legacy, Europe) is kinda forcing us into landings with the a/thrust on with the argument that almost all other airlines land 99% with the a/thrust on.
As per our OM-B, using the a/thrust is recommended during the entire approach until landing. Although there is a provision that the a/thrust must be disconnected if it doesn't work well (due to gusts etc.)
Our fleet management interprets it in a way that when it's recommended, it has to be followed and you basically have no other choice. Moreover, they also claim that usage of manual thrust also produces higher amount of hard landings and unstable approaches.
What's the a/thrust policy in your company on the A320?
