Called the FADEC BAR.
THROTTLES
Thrust is set by N1 for GE or EPR for P&W.
The three throttles are driven manually by the pilot or automatically by the autothrottle system (ATS). The ATS operation can be overridden by the pilot at any time.
Forward travel of the throttles is limited by an overboost stop. This stop has a detent that allows continued forward movement of the throttles when they are pushed with a strong force. This extra forward travel causes the following:
• • • •
ATS disconnects.
FMS thrust is overridden.
ECU or EEC provides maximum emergency thrust (alternate mode). An ENG (1, 2, or 3) FADEC ALTN alert is displayed.
Each throttle has an attached piggyback lever to control reverse thrust.
