If an AP/FD pitch mode controls a vertical trajectory, the A/THR mode controls the target SPD/MACH.‐
Ok, so here, if A/THR is controling the target SPD mach, it means that A/THR is in SPEED MODE. So it means that AP/FD are maintaing a certain FPA.
Do you agree?
2) I am pretty sure that for example 1, ELAC will simply pitch down but won't maintain vprot because A/THR is still trying to manage 170kts. So the managed speed will be 170kts!
What do you think?
Thanks a lot!
