A whole bunch of things happen at 80kts...(Boeings anyway)
1. Incapacitation check
2. Instrument x-check
3. Stopping for "any abnormality" has ended, and we now only stop for more serious things...
4. Master caution "attention getters" (lights and aurals) now inhibited
5. The autothrottle system disengages from the throttle servo gears and so cannot move a thrust lever until new selction on Thrust management coputer (earlier versions, or MCP on later models)
...I'm sure there's more, but I cant think at the mo...
