The

Limit Mode Operation
autothrottle is Drocwammed to t)rotectsr)eedand thrust
1 imits during the va~iofis phases of
flight." As speed
approaches the appropriate limit, the A/T active mode, shown on
the PFD, is turned white and moved to the arm side of theA/T
annunciation window. The appropriate limit is annunciated in
green on the PFD. The limits protected by the A/T are
below with the mode annunciation:

When the autothrottle performance limiting factor is corrected,
the previously active mode will be restored in green on the
PFD. All mode transitions are shown
boxed for 5 seconds.
A/T Priority Description
The autothrottle system uses two identical performance computers.
Only one computer is active at any one time. The pilot can manually
select A/T 1 or A/T 2 through the display controller sensor page.
This selection can be made on either the pilot or copilot display
controller (both controllers always show the same A/T selection).
Full system performance capabilities are provided independent of
which A/T is active (i.e., there is no operational advantage in the
pilot manually selectingA/T 2 insteadofA/T 1). The system will
power-up with A/T 1 selected. Since the autothrottle system is fail
passive, failure of the active A/T performance computer or selection
of the other A/T performance computer via the DC will result in an
A/T disconnect.
