WIZOFOZ, Elephant and Castel, Altcrznav
Further to my Post#18
1. Override in A320 means disconnecting AP by forcing the side stick. Since it unusual way may be done in emergency.
2. Elephant and castle is right there was a procedure to push thrust levers slightly beyond CLB to get better response.
3. Atcrznav I am surprised you did not know it for 15 years. Anyway you need not know it now. Below is from FCOM Flight Crew bulletins.
Ident.:FCB-FCB24-00013125.0001001 / 31 MAR 11
Applicable to: ALL
REASON FOR ISSUE
During the approach, with the A/THR active, Airbus recommended to set the thrust levers above the CL detent (but below the MCT detent), in exceptional circumstances, if the speed significantly dropped below VAPP. However this procedure is not trained and proved to have more drawbacks than advantages. Therefore, Airbus no longer recommends to use this procedure. The procedure is deleted from the operational documentation.
If the A/THR performance is not satisfactory, the flight crew should take over,and control the thrust manually.
