Thrust Lever Fault: FCOM 03.02.70
According to the FCOM, warning will be inhibited at flight phase 5 only (liftoff until 1500ft).


No validated thrust lever angle for one engine thrust lever.
On the ground :
ENG (affected) IDLE POWER ONLY.
FADEC selects idle power automatically.
If associated thrust reverser is already deployed, FADEC commands restow.


In flight :
If the selected thrust lever position at the time of fault detection is :
TO or FLEX
: FADEC freezes TO or flex TO thrust until slat retraction. At slat retraction it will select MCT thrust.
Between IDLE and MCT
: in manual thrust setting mode, engine rating increases and freezes at max continuous. It is possible to activate autothrust. If selected, autothrust mode will manage thrust between idle and MCT.

A/THR engaged :
-A/THR KEEP ON
A/THR not engaged :
ENG (affected) HI PWR IN MAN THR.
BEFORE SLATS IN :
-A/THR ON
STATUS


APPR PROC
THR LEVER
-AUTOLAND USE
IF AUTOLAND NOT USED :
AT 500 FT AGL :
-ENG MASTER (affected) OFF
Affected engine must be shut down, because when thrust levers are retarded, autothrust would remain in SPEED mode. During flare the thrust of the affected engine would increase to maintain the autothrust target speed
.
If autoland scheduled :
Thrust is reduced automatically during flare.
ON GND ENG 1(2) MAX PWR : IDLE.
INOP SYS
REVERSER 1(2)
ENG 1(2) THR
