Wizofoz:
Can you help me out here...imagine I am downwind descending in FLCH HOLD and ATC says “y'all make a visual approach now, follow xx”. I set 1000' on the MCP, disconnect the autopilot and perform one of my exemplary visual approaches. F/D off but PM leaves his on. We set a higher alt on the MCP when stabilised.
Will the autothrottle stay in HOLD?
PS -sorry guys they had 4 pilots because the trainee has to fly with a TRI, normally it would be 3 out to 12:30.
