Ok sounds like one must select TOGA or CL then MCT to ensure MCT is selected. Is this assumption correct?, If any one can find a reference to this particular (?) would be appreciated.
Here is my next Question:
You are now in MCT, and there is a selected speed of (220) or whatever, does the auto thrust limit it self to this speed?
(selected guidance has priority over Managed guidance theory).
On the the thrust lever quadrant the A/thr active range is labelled from the Flex/MCT position to The 0^ TLA position.
