So just to get this right. The autothrottle mechanically disengages from the thrustlever/throttles? No contact with any actuator? After having seen the thrustlevers move with autothrottle input I gather that the autothrottle system achieves its thrust setting through mechanically driving the thrust levers rather than by direct input to some fuel control device further downstream in the system (as I understand the airbus autothust system does)?
