This affects all inibuilds airbuses, however retard atleast in the a340 should not be instant as soon as 20FT however it is after 20 in the a350 which it is changed in the a340 for some reason, it should be right after the callout of 20FT. It should also still call even if the thrust is set to idle beforehand, furthermore it should also override any RA callouts, not overlap over them. This is also the case with all ini airbuses.

I have not done an autoland at all but I assume it wouldn't do retard at 10FT either.

Just to add for prosperity down here is that the retard callout should not abruptly cut off before it ends if you idle the the thrust during it if it calls repeatedly, this is not the case for any airbus.

I can't edit but the retard callout can cut off, this appears to be for the older airbuses I would assume with the ra callouts taking priority after idle, then it cuts off.

any news on this from the staff?

@IniSteve are you able to forward this to the systems team, as well as my separate however same topic for the a350: 

Thanks
