No Auto throttle

No auto throttle--- but you can set a speed control during climb and descent. The normal SOP is to keep IAS during climb ( in turbulent conditions keep basic pitch mode) and ROD during descent.

If you set IAS in level mode then the aircraft will climb and descend to maintain speed if the torque is increased or reduced.

Hope this helps.
