Whats the logic here?
Sorry for the thread creep; just to answer tdracer:
I agree with you entirely, and I thought I had screwed up in some way, but I have landed on that runway in A320/321 about a thousand times. It could have been more slippery than usual, but that does not explain the pitch up.
Anyway, back to the thread.
Uplinker, I don't know much about the Airbus implementation, but if this happened as you described - i.e. you selected reverse but got above idle forward thrust, it violates the FAR/CS regulation 25.933:
I can't help but think there is more to what happened to you. Making sure an engine stays at idle if the T/R is not in the commanded position is one of the most basic design requirements.
