Lost in Saigon: During the Takeoff roll A/T comes on at 80kts and generally stays on until after landing.

Sorry, I was confused with A/T "Hold" that comes on at 80kts. You are right of course.

There is no button on the control wheel that "clicks off" the A/T.
Right again. I forgot the A/T disconnect button is on the thrust lever and the A/P disconnect button is on the control wheel.
