BOAC - keep your hair on! I've read the thread, yes, I'm new on the 73 and I'm here to learn, like many here are. I know the A/P and the A/T are two different systems which are able to work in conjunction, I was under the impression that the A/T would only RETARD in this scenario (after G/S capture) if it were a dual channel approach and the flare maneuver had started. Also under the impression that if you left the A/T in until touchdown during a single channel appr it would maintain thrust for MCP speed until 2 secs after t/d after which it would disengage?
