Wouldn't be a very 'manual' landing if the pilot used autothrottle all the way to touchdown . . . . .?
Surely this would involve cranking the speed back to Vref via the MCP, as oppose to doing it manually via the throttles?
Is this something specific to the 777, as I've never come across a manually 'flown' approach combined with MCP manipulated autothrottles.........
Am I being stupid!?
