FLIGHT CREW<br />

OPERATING MANUAL<br />

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

AUTO FLIGHT - FLIGHT GUIDANCE<br />

AUTOTHRUST<br />

CAUTION If the flight crew pushes and holds one instinctive disconnect pb for more than<br />

15 s, the A/THR system is disconnected for the remainder of the flight. All A/THR<br />

functions including ALPHA FLOOR are lost, and they can be recovered only at the<br />

next FMGEC power-up (on ground).<br />

Applicable to: MSN 0022<br />

BELOW 100 FT RADIO ALTITUDE<br />

When the radio altitude is below 100 ft and the flight crew sets all thrust levers above the CL<br />

detent or one above the MCT detent, the autothrust will disconnect. It will rearm automatically<br />

when at least one of the thrust levers is set to TOGA.<br />

If the PF sets the thrust levers above CL detent but below TOGA and comes back to CL detent,<br />

the A/THR will disconnect and remain disconnected. As a result, the thrust will increase up to<br />

CLIMB thrust. The flight crew has to manually set the appropriate thrust for landing (or go-around).<br />

Applicable to: ALL<br />

THRUST LOCK FUNCTION<br />

The THRUST LOCK function is activated when the thrust levers are in the CL detent (or the MCT<br />

detent with one engine out), and:<br />

‐ The flight crew pushes the A/THR pb on the FCU, or<br />

‐ The A/THR disconnects due to a failure.<br />

The thrust is locked or frozen at its level prior to disconnection. Moving the thrust levers out of the CL<br />

or MCT detent suppresses the thrust lock, and reverts to manual control.<br />

When the thrust lock function is active :<br />

‐ “THR LK” flashes amber on the FMA<br />

‐ ECAM “ENG THRUST LOCKED” flashes every 5 s<br />

‐ ECAM displays “THR LEVERS......MOVE”<br />

‐ A single chime sounds and the Master Caution light flashes every 5 s.<br />

All warnings cease when the flight crew moves the thrust levers out of the detent.<br />
