AutoThrust Flashcards
TLA (thrust lever angle)
Limits maximum thrusts and/or manually commands thrust
TL (thrust lever) detents
activate the FD (flight director) takeoff TOGA/FLX and GA/TOGA modes
TL (thrust lever) active range
Idle to CL (climb) detents with both engines operating. Idle to MCT (max continuous thrust) single engine.

disconnects A/THR for the remainder of the flight.
Thrust Lock
privent thrust changes when A/THR fails and/or disengages.
Alpha Floor
Commands TOGA thrust at a critical high angle of attack, regardless of TL position.
TOGA Lock
happens when/after Alpha Floor is no longer active. (no more critical angle of attack)
Alpha Floor is inhibited during?
Alternate or Direct flight control law
Single engine with slats/flaps extended
FADECs N1 degraded modes (IAE)
