blacksmoke343 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Good afternoon, I am not sure what I am doing wrong or not programming in the MCDU but when I take off and activate TOGA, the aircraft does not revert back to CL mode.. the autothrottles are stuck in TOGA until TOD. Is this normal for the aircraft or am I missing something during the pre-flight? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so the "Alpha Floor" activated and the Autothrottle system needs to be recycled in the overhead panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexair Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 You have to manualy switch the engine control panel to AUTO at throttle reduction altitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read through online manuals and tried to look it up but I cant find anywhere on the overhead panel where you would recycle the Autothrottle.. or is it just pressing the Autothrottle button off and on that is just below the speed/mach knob?

blacksmoke343 Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 After cycling the ATS and ensuring AUTO was selected on the ECP the engines still are stuck in TOGA when I am climbing to my TOD. I am just burning through fuel every time and can not figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Account Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Yeah, everything looks normal as well. It´s not that uncommon for the A310 to climb with over 100 N1 🙂 Are you OK with me closing this thread or can I help you with something else? :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
