Here we are not discussing your company procedures. ATHR disconnect procedure is part of training syllabus while this procedure was not and few pilots obviously have messed up approaches may be by leaving THR LVR in MCT. So now Airbus recommends disconnecting ATHR and use manual thrust instead. If you mess this up you are responsible since you were taught how to. The procedure was useful if you needed quick thrust response.
Whoa there Vilas from Malaysia.
I understand this isn't about my company procedure. I brought up company procedure because I had never heard of that Airbus recommendation before and with it being so recent, I was very surprised it was never covered in our training. I asked two United pilots (both Airbus) what they knew about it and both were unfamiliar as well.
I'm wondering why this is so unfamiliar here, especially with it being such a recent change.
I sent a note off to an instructor in Training and will post when I hear back.
