A320 ATHR disconnection
I am looking for some confirmation of the following. If you press the instinctive disconnect pb for more than 15 sec I have read that the ATHR will be disconnected for the remainder of the flight. I queried this to an A340 captain (former A320) and was told that this is not true and that it can be reconnected by just arming it with the pb and selecting the climb detent. Also the ailerons of the A320 droop 5 degrees when flaps are lowered to provide more lift, is this true ?
