Max cruise thrust

[George Yogi]

Is Max cruise Thrust achieved in A320 by keeping the throttle lever in MCT gate incase A/THR is not activated ?

[gAMbl3]

MCT = Max Continuous Thrust.

Max Cruise Thrust N1 = Max Climb N1 - 1.9 % or Max Climb EPR - 0.07

[George Yogi]

So , MCT is max continuous Thrust and
Maximum climb Thrust is Max cruise thrust.
Also , A320 throttle system have 3 gates starting from TO/GA ,MCT/Flex and CLB(Max Climb thrust are different gates) correct ?

Thanks in advance

Max Climb Thrust = Maximum thrust approved for normal climb.

Max Cruise Thrust = Maximum thrust approved for normal cruise. In manual thrust setting, in cruise, the pilot should limit N1/EPR to the maximum cruise N1/EPR that is equal to the displayed maximum climb N1 minus 1.9 %/ EPR minus 0.07
