Thanx MicroBurst, a very helpful example !

fredgrav: in normal situations, when FDs are ON, you follow them. If for any reason you don't want to follow them, you turn them OFF.
Hi shortfuel,
that's what I said, though I was referring to a situation where FD is indavertently left ON ... by the way, fully agree with you !
2/ FLARE MODE related to Auto Flight System (AP/FD common modes) during AUTOLAND.
Airbus calls this RETARD MODE just not to confuse it with FLARE mode in conjuction with a FLT/CTL law ...

During automatic landing, the A/THR will go in RETARD mode, commanding IDLE thrust during the flare. But what would happen at the end of the landing roll when the crew disconnects AP in order to exit the active runway and, if despite the ''RETARD'' callout, the crew forgot the thrust levers in the CLB detent ?
Hi CONF Iture,
how would you deploy THR RVRS and GND SPLRS with a thrust lever left in CLB detent ???!
