CONF iture, RRR, Altcrznav
I was surprised to read the following in the latest FCOM. Read the first condition. There seems to be a modification. So with this MOD the ATHR can be just clicked of without thrust increase to climb. Sensible I would say.
Applicable to: 18-CMHE, 18-IMHE
TheThrust Lock function is activated when the thrust levers are in the CL detent(or the MCT detent withone engine out), and:
‐ The flight crew pushes the instinctive disconnect pb onthe thrust levers, or
‐ The flight crew pushes the A/THR pb on the FCU, or
‐ The A/THR disconnects due to a failure.
The thrust is locked at its level prior to disconnection. Moving the thrust leversout of CL or MCT suppressesthe thrust lock and gives the flight crew manual control with the thrust levers.
The next para is
Applicable to: 18-CMTE, 18-CMTEH, 18-CUHE, 18-CUTE, 18-CUTEH, 18-IMTE, 18-IUHE, 18-IUTE
Here the first line is missing.
