Thanks for the link, PA.

p51guy,

I'm not sure I would put it as high as 98%, but I'm not inclined to dispute your figure either. Since 1988 it's been evident to me that the A320 is a very ordinary aeropane, and handles conventionally with no particular vices.

But I agree with John Farley's comment that you need to give the relevant FBW computer a moment to correct a displacement, before chasing it yourself.

G-SPOTs Lost,

If you are using it, the A/THR normally sorts it out pretty well. If not, and you are very low, I suggest a go-around is a wiser move than trying an uncontrolled burst of thrust, followed by reversion to A/THR (see CONF_iture's post). A late switch to manual thrust is also not to be recommended.
