My mistake. I didn't register the contents of his second sentence. All I saw was
"the autothrottle remains ARMED (available for a 'controlled' 2000 fpm climb) until 2 secs after 5'R"
Your books say something similar, ergo my comments
My books don't address this issue, as I'm sure yours don't either or you would have an answer rather than being nonresponsive.
Nonresponsive? My first post said that your comment was interesting to know and told you that my books lacked that information. I thought I was being supportive, not nonresponsive.
