C100 driver,
I am aware the 737 A/T in ARM mode gives minimum speed protection.
If you read your BOEING Systems Manual in the Automatic Flight chapter,under Autothrottle system/Autothrottle engagement states:
'Moving the A/T Arm switch to ARM,arms the A/T(.....)A general summary of A/T mode engagement is as follows':
6 points are given the last one being:'ALPHA FLOOR AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGES THE A/T when armed' which i understand being the min speed protection.Such as A/t will kick in if speed drops to vref
If i am missing some please explain.
