I'm just looking at the joined DFDR tracks of N1 % thrust and read that, when autothrust kicked off, N1 was already auto-throttled back at ~70%, then moved to 100% during the climb sequence.
You should know that thrust would freeze where it was (~70%) when autothrust disconnected; Hence, this increase was manually applied, even if not reported in the narative, which include an incoherence about "alpha-floor" kicking which is not available at such speed (inactive above Mach 0.53). This is based on AIB interpreted pilot confusion about "Alpha-lock" corrected by "Alpha-floor", while it certainly was "Thrust-lock" alarm (when ATHR disconnected).
- er - my bit refers to 447, not TC-JDN..............................
