I agree. That's a logical conclusion. But it does seem to indicate that the use of the 'fly-through' technique, at least in the 139, is not intended to be a 'normal' or 'routine' way of operating the aircraft.
I make this point for I am trying to build a case against it's routine use on the basis that whilst experienced pilots who are 'in practice' can differentiate between 'appropriate' and 'inappropriate' use those who are neither could find it leads to mismanagement of the automation with some serious consequences.
