I don't use the speed off method but if someone does then he either:

- Disengages the A/T and retard manually or
- Lets the A/T retard by themselves (maybe with a little help if needed)

So if you go speed off till touchdown then the A/T have to retard otherwise even if the PF retarded them they might go back forward.

And regarding the RA, I've already said I'd be happier with a RA comparator that could disable the retard feature or even disengage the A/T altogether, specially if the single RA dependence is proved to be a factor in this one.
