“thrust lever does not leave the place, its locked”,
- puzzled as I am by this 'quote', albeit from an incomplete release from an unofficial source, could an AB pilot tell me please:

What actions are required to move the AB 320 T/L from 'CLB' to 'IDLE'? Is there a latch that needs to be released or should it be a straight easy movement?

How is reverse actuated ie what is the actuating mechanism on the throttle quadrant?

How is reverse N1 adjusted?

Is there any mechanical 'drive' to the T/Ls in any mode?

When the CVR has been fully analysed, the timing of that 'quote' could be very significant.
