"Make all GA's manual thrust = system redesign"
"Every GA is the same motor action. No choice, no excisions, no doubts. JUST DO IT."

You mean just as they were doing it on the DH121, AKA Trident over 50 years ago.
The Autopilot would fly the G/A from a DH of 12 ft. The activation of this mode was achieved by fully advancing the power levers manually.

I can't vouch for what would have happened if this was attempted after touchdown as in the 20 or so sim sessions I did I cannot recall this exercise. Nor for that matter on any other types I flew after that.

Is this or something similar that happens on the wonderbus? Power lever position or a TOGA button?
