One must select green dot speed or so, before the thrust "levers" are pulled back to the climb detent at clean-up altitude, i.e. 1500' agl. The brilliant machine will command idle power if not done correctly.
???not really, not the airbus I fly anyway...
At Go Around mode engagement, the target speed becomes Vapp or the current speed if higher. At acc alt, the target becomes green dot. No need to select it and I don't see how the thrust would go back to idle???
