Question from a non pilot,
As I switched to a more realistic simulator software, I realized that in turbulence weather, auto-thrust doesn't work well because the too frequent corrections it makes, especially in approach and landing.
I understand this is also the case in real a/c.
So I was curious, hasn't anyone developed some kind of correction in the A/T so that when weather requires, or other applicable conditions, it does less frequent corrections, resembling more the "steadier" hand of a pilot ?
Perhaps, something in the above problem has anything to do with operating A/T in which a certain target N1 (or other parameter) is set instead of IAS ? In my ignorance I don't fully grasp that mode of operation.
Thanks for answering you have spare time!
