FLIGHT CREW<br />

OPERATING MANUAL<br />

<strong>AIRCRAFT</strong> <strong>SYSTEMS</strong><br />

AUTO FLIGHT - FLIGHT GUIDANCE<br />

AUTOTHRUST<br />

The A/THR being armed, is activated:<br />

‐ When the flight crew sets both thrust levers between the CL and IDLE detents (two engines<br />

operative)<br />

‐ When the flight crew sets one thrust lever between MCT and IDLE detents (one engine<br />

inoperative).<br />

The A/THR being disconnected, is activated when the flight crew pushes the A/THR pb on the<br />

FCU while the thrust levers are within the active range, including the IDLE position.<br />

Note: When the flight crew sets all thrust levers to the IDLE position, A/THR disconnects.<br />

However, if the flight crew pushes the A/THR pb on the FCU, the autothrust will be<br />

simultaneously armed and activated. Due to the thrust levers's position, IDLE thrust will<br />

be maintained.<br />

When ALPHA FLOOR is activated, regardless of the initial A/THR status and position of the thrust<br />

levers, the A/THR activates.<br />

When A/THR is active:<br />

‐ The FCU’s A/THR pb lights up<br />

‐ The FMA displays A/THR mode in green (in the first column) and "A/THR" in white (in the fifth<br />

column).<br />
