Authrottle usage 737-700
We are still in the "learning" stage of automation at my carrier, so wondering about a limitation that recently came out from flight ops. We are only allowed to use authrottles in the descent/approach if the autopilot is on. Once autopilot is disconnected off, we must also disconnect autothrottles. Flight Ops mgt. claims this is a "Boeing recommendation".
What does every other airline do? Thoughts?
