...Unless thrust changes become excessive, it is not an Airbus request to disconnect A/THR for turbulence.
At 35 and .82 in A/THR while entering an area of disturbed weather, would the pilot choose to manually ease back on thrust to slow speed on the basis to make the Pax more comfortable?
I ask this question in that having passed through the first storm cell and suddenly entering the second cell, which was much more formidable, if speed was bled off intentionally and that this might have been the prelude to events that followed?
