AUTO FLIGHT - FLIGHT GUIDANCE<br />

THRUST LEVERS<br />

The flight crew uses the thrust levers to do the following:<br />

‐ Manually select engine thrust<br />

‐ Arm and activate autothrust (A/THR)<br />

‐ Engage reverse thrust<br />

‐ Engage the takeoff and go-around modes.<br />

AUTOTHRUST<br />

When autothrust is disconnected, the thrust levers control thrust directly: each lever position<br />

corresponds to a given thrust.<br />

4 detents divide each of the thrust lever sectors into three segments. The detents are:<br />

TO GA : Maximum takeoff thrust<br />

FLX MCT : Maximum continuous thrust (or FLX at takeoff)<br />

CL : Maximum climb thrust<br />

IDLE : Idle thrust<br />

When the thrust levers are at the IDLE position, the flight crew can pull the reverse levers.<br />
