Q

Column 1: Autothrust Operation

LVR CLB
LVR MCT

When would you get a MC and aural alert associated with these FMAs?

A

Flashes as a prompt to set the TLs to the indicated detent
(MC and chime every 5” if aft of the CLB/MCT detent)

17
Q

Column 1: Autothrust Operation

What does this FMA mean?
THR LK
