737NG Autothrottle Disconnect After Engine Failure
Losing an engine after V1 the autothrottle on the 737NG trips off at a certain point during climb out. I've seen it happen in the sim every time and never gave it another thought. Just recently went through my systems manual again and, after going up and down through chapter 4 several times, I couldn't find any reference to this feature. Can somebody help me out on this? What exactly trips the A/T and at what point? It's not in my book (I think).
Would it be right to assume that the autothrottle trips off solely so you don't forget to change rudder pressure when you manually reduce thrust for level off instead off the autothrottle reducing thrust and you going sideways.
