1.What happens when you disengage the authrottle at a different setting than the one indicated by the levers? 2.Does the thrust respond immediately to the position of the levers? 3. Is the pilot supposed to readjust the thrust levers close to the setting the thrust is currently at? 4.Why would a modern aircraft like the A330 not have automatically moving levers? 5. Is there any advantage to this?
On Airbus it's called autothrust, A/THR, anyway
1. Levers are in climb power detent. If you disengage A/THR thrust/rpm will be according lever position e.g. Climb Thrust or thrust lever angle corresponding thrust between idle and CL
2.Yes, regarding spool up time
3.Yes, before A/THR is disengaged
4.Weight (so does Mr. Airbus say)
5. Don't think so
