, so why don't we disengage the A/T once max thrust is set in auto flight?
That was the quote i was responding to.
In autoflight,the AT is NOT to be disengaged after thrust is set automatically.
The reason is that the AT get info from many sources to produce the max thrust(via ADIRUS/EEC) and disconnecting it would not achieve the initial goal to get the max optimum thrust.
The at will protect from flap overspeed and vmo while and when you decide to retract the flaps when windshear is clear...
As denti pointed out ,manual override may be needed is the automatics arent doing what they are supposed to do,for that the pilot must first get to grips with knowledge of its automatics,no?
