"FLCH trap"
More accurately, it is an Autothrottle 'HOLD' trap, as it can happen any time the the A/T goes into HOLD mode, with the A/P disengaged.

Or, even more accurately, it can happen any time the A/T is not in SPD.


Or even more importantly it can happen anytime the sharp end jet jockeys are not in PILOT mode.
