more thrust changes on gusts - thank you

since easiest explanation for autothrottle behaviour is what priority was given in the software - comfort or safety - can not see a problem with more agressive behaviour of airbus autothrottle system.

however am allways - company accepts it - switching off autothrottle before reaching 1000ft so don't know whether this results in even more nervous thrust changes or not.

am aware autothrottle would help me between 1000ft and 50ft but below I WANT to feel the parameters for my flare and fiddling around with throttle at 50ft just doesn't make sense to me.

ground speed mini still works since this depends on the magenta speed target offered by the "managed speed mode" and taking care of windshear as mentionned above.
