    When you leave the automation on and do not check the automation mode, bad things can happen in ANY aircraft type.

      MCT is Maximum Continuous Thrust whereas TOGA is maximum transient thrust.

      As for the rest, if you're not going to read what I post, then just please ignore it.

          Poor passengers....

          In the end, the PF eventually succeeded to control the plane in a very confusing situation, my sympathies for that.
          But apparently they only understood "why the plane was doing that" only after everything went back to normal. Which is fine in principle.
          But, in hindsight, the pilots should have FULLY clicked-clacked it (AP off, AT off, FD off) the instant that they started to wonder "what is it doing now". If you don't understand what the automation is doing, remove the automation, control the plane manually, fully stabilize the situation, and only then analyze "why was it doing that".

          Jesus. I've just opened the avherald as I've done that so many times before. But pardon me, that avherald entry this time really seems like a Gabriel forum entry, i.e. you need exactly 40 minutes to read it.
          What I've read so far, it happened on an A320-200 between Eindhoven (!) and Sofia. Now, Eindhoven is a town which is 65 nautical miles (or 121 km) away from my home airport. I'd assume that most people in Eindhoven use Schiphol.
          But what I don't know, or better, I simply don't wanna look that up right now, is the distance between Eindhoven and Schiphol. Is Eindhoven nearer to Lohausen Intl, or to Schiphol?

            This is a bit different. On the 777, the autothrust is active in IDLE after touching down and the go buttons will do nothing but if you move the thrust levers at that point, I'm pretty sure it will just disengage autothrust and leave you in manual control. So, in any case, modes are irrelevant. Once you are airborne again, the go-buttons become active again. The problem here was that they weren't familiar enough with how the automation worked on the ground. If they had practiced touch-and-goes, they might have known that this.

                  You put MTC n​​ot MCT! Hence the confusion. And thanks for the driving instructions LH!

                      It is a bit different, yes, but the key not_differetn bit is that they expected the autothrust to be in one mode (TOGA) but it was in a different mode (OFF or similar), however they relied on their expectation without checking to confirm that it had gone into the expected TOGA mode, which it hadn't. So the flight mofes and checking the FMA are not irrelevant.

                        But you will never be able to answer questions. How old are you. You are rather like a 12 year old son who tells me, look at me dad, I can ride a bicycle.

                        Well done, my son.

                        But in contrast to your 100 hp Cessna, for a jet you must be a teamplayer. I just wanted to ask you, are you a teamplayer. But that question is redundant. Every time when we meet here on this platform you show that you are the opposite of a teamplayer.

                        If I had to choose a team for the B744 cockpit, that were Gabriel, Evan, 3WE, and atlcrew.

                          Are you sure?

                          I can give testimonial that BB is a (now retired) 747-200/300/400/Dreamlifter captain. Not to mention other jet and propeller multi-engine airplanes that he flew as captain and FO with passengers and /or cargo in the back.

                          But, of course, he doesn't have your or my tenure or number of posts in this forum (although he is older than you and me... combined!)

                            3WE did that, not me.

                              Because you went back and corrected it. I saw it as well and just figured because it was an Airbus they called it max thrust continuous. You know the way the Brits like to be different.

                                You wonder why I like to hassle you? You constantly post superfluous and inane posts. They rarely have anything to do with the topic of the thread. They are mostly filled with geography lessons about Germany. And you think because you have been watching airplanes for over "35" years and fly your computer simulator, it makes you a pilot. You also seem to think that the length of time and the amount of posts on this site have something to do with experience. And it's fun to ruffle your feathers. Carry on.
