Let me put it as simply as I can
- yes, simpler and correcter
This is outside the recommendations of the FCTM.
- which bit is that? The FCTM actually says that UNLESS you are going to TOUCHDOWN with the A/T engaged, you should bug Vref+additives, not Vref+5 and 'tweak it' when you disconnect. (1.16) so
*If you disconnect the autothrottle during an approach, you should technically reset the command bug speed to Vref + wind additives.
is only correct for an unplanned A/T disengagement.
