PA28Pilot,
Thanks very enlighting... you said ''if the speed gets too low, minimum speed protections will kick in and nudge the thrust levers up automatically'' when you say 'minimum speed protections' are you referring to the stall speed or bugged Vref speed?
If its the bugged Vref speed this feature seems quite good indeed why is it therefore not recommended by Boeing? On the other hand if its to protect against the stall speed then I can see why is its not recommended.
