Many thanks, IFixPlanes.

On the other hand, this is a lot more than a warning and a little chime, it is a full fledged RED ECAM Procedure :

Quote:

ENG X THR LEVER ABV IDLE (in Red)
-THR LEVER 1.......IDLE ( in Cyan)

We are no longer on the original league of essentialness !
Must admit to being confused - was this mod always in the document, in that specific form, or was it inserted or amended later (i.e. in Rev. 2 virtually on the day of the accident, or in Rev. 3 after the accident)?

Additionally, what is its status - required, advisable, optional?

And does anyone know whether the warning is being built into new production aeroplanes? Is one entitled to assume that all such design revisions/improvements are automatically incorporated in new construction?

Lemurian, what is (or could be) the significance of that? Does it refer to the angle above 'idle'? What was the previous value?
