AUTOTHRUST<br />
EFFECTS OF THRUST LEVER MOVEMENT DURING A/THR ACTIVATION<br />
While A/THR is active:<br />
‐ When all thrust levers are set above the CL detent or at least one above the MCT detent, the<br />
A/THR reverts from active to armed. “A/THR” turns to blue on the FMA and the thrust levers<br />
control the thrust directly. The FMA displays “MAN THR” white in its first column.<br />
The thrust levers provide the flight crew with an immediate increase of thrust when thrust levers<br />
are pushed above the CL detent (four engines) or the active thrust levers above the MCT detent<br />
(one engine inoperative).<br />
‐ When all thrust levers are set below the CL (four engines) or three thrust levers are set<br />
below the MCT (one engine inoperative), a repeating warning (amber caution, single chime,<br />
"A/THRLIMITED" ECAM message) is activated every 5 s until the flight crew moves the levers<br />
back into the detent. “THR LVR” green is displayed on the FMA.<br />
“LVR CLB” (all engines operative) or “LVR MCT” (one engine inoperative) flashes white in the<br />
first column of the FMA.<br />
This device reminds the flight crew that the normal operating position of the thrust levers, when<br />
A/THR is active, is the CL detent (all engines) or the MCT detent (one engine inoperative).<br />
‐ When at least one thrust lever is set out of the CL (or MCT) detent with autothrust active, the<br />
“LVR ASYM” amber message comes up until all levers are set in the CL detent.<br />
