PJ -
moved aft to IDLE at touchdown by the A/T system in a Boeing under ALL conditions
- we are outside my experience range here since I do not use A/T when manually flying (as per the Boeing rec), so I can only confirm that in the 'FLARE' manoeuvre (ie Dual channel) an engaged A/T will close to idle. There is some speculation elsewhere on PPRune that a single channel approach will 'FLARE' but I do not support this, having never seen or heard of it. I have, however, seen the min speed reversion cut in during a manual flare (possibly above 27'RA) and then the A/T will attempt to maintain bug speed + a bit, so I suspect the A/T
may not retard outside a 'FLARE' condition, but as I say it is not a 'normal' area of 737 operation.
