• The A/THR is activated :

– By pressing the A/THR pushbutton on the FCU, provided thrust
levers are in the A/THR active range.
– By setting thrust levers back into A/THR active range.

• The A/THR is disconnected :

– By bringing all thrust levers to IDLE.
– By pressing the instinctive pushbuttons :

 Active range
CLIMB

• Active range of A/THR : between IDLE & CLIMB (all IDLE

engines operative).

FMGS N1
• The FMGS computes the thrust (limited to the
value corresponding
p g to the lever p
position)) :
Flight conditions :
Zp, OAT, MN

• The A/THR is activated :

– By pressing the A/THR pushbutton on the FCU,
provided thrust levers are in the A/THR active
range.
– By setting thrust levers back into A/THR active
range.
• The A/THR is disconnected :
– By bringing all thrust levers to IDLE.
– By pressing the instinctive pushbuttons :

A/THR logic

The EPR command (calculated by the FMGS) varies between idle and the
thrust corresponding to the actual position of the levers.
The lever position do not necessarily represents the engine
thrust delivered.
