Why do you say that?

Because that's not what you do. Leave AP on, pull speed brake, reduce thrust if not happy. How can you disconnect AP and pull up in RVSM space?

Ah. I misunderstood what you wrote. I thought you were criticising the choice to disconnect the AP in response to the TCAS.

On A320 suppose you have engine stall after take off.After 400feet you put the thrust lever to idle on the affected engine.After this should we put the lever to MCT on good enginellevel off at 1500 feet /clean up/MCT or Mantain the flex detent or TOGA used for take off and follow the Engine out Procedure.What is the difference between MCT and T/o thrust (in flex or Toga) after 400feet?

Hi,

the ENG STALL procedure will initially ask You to put the affected engine THR LEVEL at idle, i.e. procedurally and performance wise You will consider Yourself one engine out, hence follow Your engine failure after V1 procedures - check FCTM ABN/EMER PROC. ENG. Engine Failure after V1.

Given the fact that prior to any action on the thrust levers You will be climbing out with 2 live engines, it is quite likely that You will reach Your normal THR RED/ACC ALT prior to any ECAM actions being conducted and You will be asked by the FMA to put the THR LEVERS to CLB and the vertical mode will revert to either CLB or OP CLB according to what lateral mode You find Yourself into (i.e. NAV or HDG).

To better understand what will happen at this stage and what Your options are, go through the FCOM - Systems - 22_30 - Flight guidance. That will be helpful to better understand any further replies I believe.

With one engine failed and the other in flex you still have sufficient thrust to climb away safely. Thrust lever position doesn't need to change until flaps zero, and you'll be guided to this by your FMA flashing "LEVER MCT".

Following the ECAM will potentially leave you with the engine running at reduced power instead of shut down anyway, making the situation easier to handle.

If you have Engine stall then at 400ft ask for QRH Engine stall Procedure. Leave the other thrust lever at Flex or TOGA as it is. There are three results that are possible. Common action in all three will ask you to bring thrust lever to idle. Further procedure may leave you with EFATO, partial thrust or normal thrust. Just follow the appropriate Procedure.
