So, as I understand it, the AT remains armed throughout but the TOGA switches themselves are effectively unpowered.
Percy: Then you are saying that the A/T will attempt to maintain the MCP speed upon touchdown on a manual landing if no reverse is used?

remember below 5' it's transitioning to ROLLOUT with IDLE thrust.
Zero: You are describbing an autoland and that is completely different than a manual landing. There is no FLARE, IDLE or ROLLOUT on a manual landing.
