The modes used by the autothrottle. Autothrottle modes are coupled to the vertical modes.
The modes used by the autothrottle. Autothrottle modes are coupled to the vertical modes.


;THRUST (0)
;SPEED (0)
The throttles are driven to maintain a set indicated airspeed or mach number.
The throttles are driven to maintain a set indicated airspeed.


;PITCH (1)
;MACH (0)
The throttles are driven to maintain a set mach number.
 
;IDLE (1)
The throttles are slowly driven to the idle stop for speed on pitch descends.
The throttles are slowly driven to the idle stop for speed on pitch descends.
;PITCH (2)
The throttles are slowly driven to the thrust limit for speed on pitch climbs. In takeoff or go around modes, the throttles are driven to the thrust limit at a faster speed.


;RETARD (1)
;RETARD (1)
The throttles are slowly driven to the idle stop for when under a user configurable radio altitude for the landing flare. On touchdown, they are driven to the idle stop at a faster speed.
