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 />
