Hi longarm,
My FCOM still has this OEB. Has it been removed from yours?
Oeb N° 827 Revision 3
Release Date 1-Jan-2009
Subject AIRCRAFT HANDLING IN FINAL APPROACH
Reason During the approach, with the A/THR active, Airbus recommended to set the thrust levers above the CL detent (but below the MCT detent), in exceptional circumstances, if the speed significantly dropped below Vapp. However this procedure is not trained and proved to have more drawbacks than advantages. Therefore, Airbus no longer recommends to use this procedure. The procedure is deleted from the operational documentation. If the A/THR performance is not satisfactory, the flight crew should take over, and control the thrust manually
