Acerazus 1 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 ATC told me that I had to go-around. I went for TOGA and then put the throttles to climb thrust later. But when I set a speed and put it into the computer, the autothrottle wouldn't respond and do anything. It kept increasing in speed. It was as if the autothrottle wasn't on autopilot, yet autopilot was turned on. Did I do something wrong, is there a glitch in my Airbus, or did I need to turn on the second autopilot?

Andy320 77 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Autopilot won't control thrust, autothrottle controls thrust. I'm guessing autothrottle would have been active after your go around provided you didn't set the throttles to idle at anypoint. Just before the go around were you in managed or selected mode for air speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acerazus 1 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 No. I was in managed mode. I let the autopilot do the job, of setting the right speed for the plane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
