"Set the thrust levers at TOGA and then retard the thrust levers as required........"
Wow Gnadenburg, word perfect from FCOM 3.03.23, also described in FCTM 02.170.1.
Yes Keith. It is word perfect. Deliberately so and hence the "......"
I am putting two and two together as to WTF " TOGA TAP " is ?
I find it incredulous that Airbus endorsed contributors to this thread would be aghast at a TOGA TAP. It is a well documented and practical application of the ATHR sytem to work within posssible, everyday operational restricitions- intermediate GA for example.
But then again, it is bewildering why such a technique would be applied at the minima.
I have mentioned it here ad nauseum for years. Airbus aircraft in the GA phase can present serious challenges. Mode confusion and disorientation ( spatial and from glass presentations ). Three crashes and the more recent OEB suggesting a number of close calls on NPA's.
Chimbu again suggests the J* training department is ex-Ansett. Perhaps, if there is the rumoured standards issues at J*, they could invest in a sim programme entailing regular 90 day checks like the old AN system.
